Since I posted, tentatively, that the Mets look like they’re turning things around, they have dropped three straight, their bats have gone cold, and Reyes pulled a hamstring.
This is all my fault.

UPDATED 7/3: A-HA! So I did a posting yesterday bemoaning how the Mets have reverted to form…and today they come back in the bottom of the ninth against just about the toughest closer in baseball and then win in the 10th. Okay, don’t tell me I’m not responsible. I cheer, they suck. I moan, they win. Maybe I shouldn’t say anything about them anymore.

And Willie Harris’ kid died. Condolences to him, by the by.
Peter have you watched Ken Burns Baseball documentary? I loved what they said about the Mets.
Next time, say something excited about the Phils. Or North Korea.
Spoken like a true Mets’ fan. 😉
Indeed. Yours completely.
I’m sure it’s not your fault. Your words do not have some magical power that causes baseball teams to lose.
Not that sports fans ever believe me when I tell them these things. 🙁
Peter, can you now comment on how potent and effective the field of Republican presidential candidates is?
Peter, can you now comment on how potent and effective the field of Republican presidential candidates is while replacing the term Republicans with the word Mets and replacing all known candidates with Met’s players names?
I could, but that’s a lot of work.

Ok, good. Me n’ Mike didn’t want you to actually do it, we just wanted to know if you could.
Start with Michelle “Wally” Bachmann?
According to my dad, everyone wins 1/3 of the games, and loses 1/3 of the games pretty much all the time, and it’s the remaining 1/3 that determines anything. lol
Reyes was named to the All-Star game. With our luck, he actually tears a hamstring and is out for the rest of the season.

It was only a mild strain and he reportedly should be back in a few days. And O can’t believe you not only beat the hot Yankees, but were down to your LAST STRIKE against MARIANO RIVERA, the BEST CLOSER EVER, and battled back to win! Amazing!
You were just excessively prophetic, PAD. They did turn things around – a full 360 degrees, putting them right back on their original course…
I think “Camptown Races” should be the new theme song for the Mets. It’s got the names of two Mets in the lyrics: Duda and Bay.

Not that I believe that your words are actually causing the Mets to win or lose, or anything. But, any chance you could bemoan the New York Red Bulls a little. I know you probably don’t care much about soccer, but they’ve kind of been on a winless streak lately . . .
Boy, you’d think the Red Bulls would have more energy, considering their name. They’re clearly done for the season.

Thanks, man. I’m not a superstitious fan or anything, but I figured it couldn’t hurt.
In soccer, it’s actually kind of weird. Even if they don’t win they still do okay because you get one point for a draw, which keeps you in the standings. So, it’s like “they’re doing okay. Not great, but okay”.
