(and not the network!) Poor Big Unit, ha ha. I love Reyes and Beltran and Lo Duca and Nady and Wright and Heilman and Wagner...and let's not forget Matsui quietly driving in the tying run. Let this be the start of more great things to come. Let's Go Pedro! YESSSSS!!!!!! (and not the network!) Poor Big Unit, ha ha.

Fortunately in 86 I worked downtown and ran out of work to attend. I remember being up close right in front of City Hall. But its time to make new history, and now I pass two Castles coming and going to work. Unfortunately, the Castle in Bay Ridge is history, much like our beloved 86 Mets.

There are a couple here in Michigan, though none in Grand Rapids. There is one in Lansing, and I brought my church youth group there when we were on a retreat. The kids needed to broaden their life experiences. Oh, I forgot to say; White Castles rock!

My folks taped it and mailed the VHS out to me in Missouri, and I remember wondering at what point was someone going to tackle the politicians and tell them to shut the heck up! What's wrong with these guys? Do they really think that someone is more likely to vote for them because they hogged the spotlight at a Mets vicory parade? Great post , Greg!

That's my assumption anyway. And amen to your Queens agenda for the weekend. At least when we do get our parade, we'll all get to ride on the Faith and Fear float.

I came very close in 2000, but instead we got that horrible mockery of a celebration. I was excited when the Red Sox won, but it's about time my true #1 team marches downtown. Until then, I'll have to be satisfied with sweeping them damn Yankees right out of Queens this weekend. Knock on wood.
