While Giambi is hitting a depressing, soul-sucking, game-winning, eighth-inning homerun for the Yankees, the Braves, once again, help Mets fans get to Heaven. Braden Looper alone is responsible for more character-building than just about any man alive.
I'm not quite sure how Giambi managed to drag himself into the batter's box without Randolph's subtle and inspiring presence on the Yankee bench, but at least M.C. Willie was able to help the Mets bring da funk down to Hotlanta.
In this compilation of quotes from the Daily News game report, Willie sounds like a man on top of his game and in touch with hip hop culture:
"We're gluttons for punishment, I guess. I thought we had it, man. He came in there and did a pretty good job. After the full count he had to challenge him, I guess. We're going to miss (Mark) Mulder. That's good, I guess, huh?"
Since their mediocre 6-5 start, the Mets have really cold lamped with flava. A 64-64 record in their last 128 games has allowed them to surge within 1 1/2 games of the fourth-place Nationals.
That's good, I guess, huh?
Mike Lupica's words from eleven days ago seem downright prophetic:
"Maybe the Mets will go 8-5 over this upcoming stretch of 13 games. Maybe they will go 9-4 and stop talking about the wild-card and start talking about finally catching the Braves after all these years and winning the NL East."
Well, they're only 10 1/2 games back of the Braves.
That's good, I guess, huh?
