Wrong Side Of Town
— theballclub.blogspot.com — The problem with this World Series was that the outcome was inevitably going to piss me off.... That was how I saw things going in, and that was how it turned out. My plan was to basically pretend it didn't exist . Just shut it off. Why put myself through the misery? But it's impossible to do that. ... (more) Wrong Side Of Town

Don't Care Anymore
— theballclub.blogspot.com — I suppose it's only fitting that this season of Mets Misery has come down to one final,... horrible matchup between the two teams that we in Mets Nation can stand the absolute least. You could see this coming about a mile away, even when the playoffs started. You could try to use your cosmic ... (more) Don't Care Anymore

The Most Beautiful Failure
— theballclub.blogspot.com — October 19th, a rather unassuming day as it might seem, is a rather cathartic day for most... Mets fans, at least those who remember some of the more memorable games that this team has played on October 19th. On October 19th, 1986, the Mets played the Red Sox in Game 2 of the World Series. The ... (more) The Most Beautiful Failure

The Hated Pool
— theballclub.blogspot.com — October is a Cruel Mistress, especially if you're a Mets fan, and while you'd like to say... you could sit back and watch the League Championship Series that begin tonight, but considering MLB's Final Four consists of three teams I despise, and the Anaheim Angels, it's going to be a little tough to ...

2009 Mets: A Season In Futility, Part II
— theballclub.blogspot.com — We continue with our 2009 Mets Report Card. Now, the pitchers. Mike Pelfrey - C I named... Mike Pelfrey one of my 5 Key Mets before the season assuming that he was probably going to build on his very successful season in 2008. I figured he was a prime candidate to break out and be the rock solid ... (more) 2009 Mets: A Season In Futility, Part II

2009 Mets: A Season In Futility, Part I
— theballclub.blogspot.com — It's no great secret that the 2009 Mets suffered through a totally miserable season. It was disappointing,... but in a different way than the two seasons before it. This season started with the same promise as 2008 and 2007. But the early optimism gave way early on to several problems, beginning ... (more) 2009 Mets: A Season In Futility, Part I

A Happy Prattiversary!
— theballclub.blogspot.com — It is the 10th Anniversary of what I consider to be the single greatest Baseball Game I've... ever attended. In recognition, I'm reaching into the Annals of the Ballclub and pulling up a classic piece that originally appeared as Part IV of the " 20 Days In October " series that chronicled the Mets ...

Here Come The Yankees!
— theballclub.blogspot.com — Lost in the shuffle of last night's scintillating play-in game was this little nugget. I haven't seen... anything about it yet today so it may get glossed over, but if you were paying attention, you heard it. In the bottom of the 10th inning, the Twins had runners on 1st and 3rd with 1 out. Nick ... (more) Here Come The Yankees!

The Feel-Good Finale
— theballclub.blogspot.com — Yesterday's finale at Citi Field was truly a finale to be welcomed, but not so much for... the obvious reason of finally putting to rest what has been a miserable, forgettable season. More importantly, by winning their final game of the season yesterday , the Mets snapped my 8-game losing streak, ... (more) The Feel-Good Finale

Just Make It Quick
— theballclub.blogspot.com — It's my long-standing tradition to go to the last game of the season, whether the Mets were... playing for their lives, or well off the pace. The last two years, well, we all know what happened. To say I was tense that morning is an understatement. Of course, things didn't end well. Today, there's ... (more) Just Make It Quick

Seriously?
— theballclub.blogspot.com — Playing out the string like this wouldn't be so bad except that since it's the 2009 Mets... playing out the string, every loss has to be as excruciating as possible. You can't even feel good with the Mets ahead 3-0, because you know that there's about a bazillion ways that they can blow the lead ... (more) Seriously?

So Long, 518!
— theballclub.blogspot.com — Tuesday night was the final game on the 15-game plan I purchased before the season, and, most... likely, the final game in which I'd be occupying Section 518, Row 17, Seats 3 and 4, unless by some fluke I go to a random game and purchase those seats, or if the Mets decide to jerk me around and ...
