Mr. Met and His Girlfriend

i know one thing about baseball
you're still a dick for los mets
when they finish losing, i'm a gonna rub yer huge
ballsack w/ rice and beans in meat paste and feed you
to my starving hound dog...

you gotta believe

When it comes to baseball, you just never know

yer a fine monotheist, PD
we're all so proud

I don't care who wins the NL now. Maybe the Cubs, so Hillary Clinton can figure out new ways to root for the Cubs and the Yankees and piss everyone off. My pop likes Lou Piniella, and so do I, but the Cubs thing is just untenable. The Rockies are the least offensive (sic) option. I felt so bad earlier that I went out and cleaned my car. Fuck Willie Randolph and the horse he rode in on, and trade Jose Reyes. Trade his head-case ass.
