Get a tissue and wipe your nose.

Crybaby sportswriter is upset because the Mets lost to the Yankees:

"If Nick Swisher can turn into a drum majorette after a home run off Johan Santana in June, imagine what he might do if he ever hits in the postseason."

Postseason? The Yankees are going to make the postseason? The old, tired, overrated, gutless, soulless, mercenary Yankees?

As Swisher might say: "The playoffs would be awesome, dude!"


1) Swisher was in the dugout.

2) Swisher was not even celebrating after his own home run. He was celebrating the third home run in a row, which is a rather rare event.

3) If games against the Mets in June don't matter ... then stop writing about them.


Do you get the sense that Lupica didn't mind so much if it Jose Reyes was excessively celebrating?

Do you get the sense that Lupica wouldn't root for the Feds if their steroid target was Mike Piazza instead of Roger Clemens?

Do you get the sense the Lupica simply hates the Yankees and loves the Mets, clouding any sense of rational thinking that may have existed at one time in his pea brain?
