Meet the Mets!

Is there a cooler mascot than Mr. Met? That's a rhetorical question, for it is common knowledge that Mr. Met rocks it like no other.

I am pleased to report my favorite baseball squad has somehow managed to survive the firing of their manager, several heartbreaking defeats in the late innings (including a real crusher earlier this week against the then-first place Phillies), and a plethora of injuries to find themselves in first place heading into the weekend. It's been a tough rollercoaster of a ride this season but I'm very happy to see how resilient they've been. I sure hope they keep it up, especially when we're out there in a couple of weeks.

As an aside, I've managed to take over one of my fantasy leagues and I'm absolutely dominating. There's still a lot of season left but I'm optimistic about winning the whole thing. And I haven't had to trade away much of my team to accomplish it. In the meantime, after deciding to give up for this year in another league, I made a trade that was quite controversial. We'll see how it turns out, it definitely brought a lot of criticism from fellow owners. Fantasy football is also gearing up and it looks like I'll be in 3 or 4 leagues this year. Last year was a good one, with 1 win and another cash out of 3 leagues. Good times!

A little geeky sports heavy today but wanted to celebrate the Mets climbing back up top!

Song lyric of the day: "Meet the Mets, meet the Mets / Step right up and greet the Mets" Mets fight song, full lyrics here (quite hilarious actually).

Until next time.
