This Week

I have a lot of things I want to say about the new signings, but I can’t put up my Tuesday posting this week because I am totally swamped grading papers and exams.  I do want to say to regular readers that I will be posting some excellent news soon about my forthcoming book, The Last Days of Shea.  If you liked Mets Fan, you’ll really like The Last Days of Shea, and it appears that it will be out next year and available in bookstores everywhere.  As soon as the actual contract is signed, I’ll give you all the details.  Enjoy the holiday season everyone, and let’s go Mets!

    Hi Dana,

    I am looking forward to the new book, as the first one was fabulous. Can’t wait to hear your comments on the signings. Have a great holiday.

  2. PHILLY IS THE TEAM TO BEAT! AND U CAN'T says:

    FOR XMAS MAYBE SANTA NEEDS TO BRING YOU SOMETHING FOR YOUR LOCKERROOM….HOW ABOUT A BOOK THAT EXPLAINS HOW TO DO THE HEIMLICH MANUEVER. COUGH, COUGH, CHOKE, CHOKE!

    BETTER YET MAYBE WE (THE PHIGHTIN PHILLIES AKA…WORLD F’KN CHAMPIONS AND ALSO AKA…THE TEAM TO BEAT) WILL READ IT TO YOU NEXT YEAR AFTER WE BEAT YOUR BUTTS AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER.
    THE METS … A TEAM OF FRONTRUNNERS, WITH FANS THAT ARE FRONTRUNNERS, IN A CITY OF FRONTRUNNERS. ALL THREE ARE A JOKE. COME DOWN TO PHILLY YOU CAN SEE THE LIBERTY BELL AND THEN GO TO THE BANK AND I’LL SHOW YOU WHAT THE WORLD SERIES TROPHY LOOKS LIKE. YOU ARE SUCH LOSERS. MERRY XMAS…HO HO HO!

    Mr. Philly,

    You make some very interesting points. And that is very witty about the Heimlich “Manuever.” Congratulations to your f’kn champions and all that. I’d love to see what a World Series Trophy looks like. I happen to like Philadelphia a lot. And I hope that the Mets will redeem themselves next year.

    Classy answer! I like it.

    Now maybe he’ll go home and choke on dinner :)

  5. Vicki says:

    Yes, Dana, I agree with Dino. It was a classy answer. I too, think Philadelphia the city is very nice. I love their pretzels, and they have a storied history.

    I think the Mets will redeem themselves this year. It will be the first full
    year under Jerry Manuel, and we no longer have Heilman and Schoeneweiss to sabotage us. I am not making any predictions, just that we will give Philly a run for it’s money, and they shouldn’t be so overconfident. Look at Atlanta. They were invincible for many years and then they looked very vulnerable last year. Nothing lasts forever.

    Oh Dana, very classy indeed. But, let’s face it, Philly is New York’s little step brother. The inferiority complex of the fans and the players is so blatant it is laughable. Look, these guys were talking about the Mets during their World Series celebration in Philly. Also known as the worst fans in all of sports, they booed Santa Claus for chrissake. Anyway, Happy New Year Philly fan, enjoy your WS trophy, You won’t see another one for another 25+ years.

    Hi,

    I am interested in purchasing one to two simple text links on your site’s homepage. How much would you charge for that?

    Thanks.
