I don't think I've missed much with my daily Mets recaps, with them going 6-7 during my hiatus. More on them later.
My post tonight is going to deal with my other two teams - the New York Giants and the New Jersey Devils.
It's funny that the team I love the most of the three has been the least
successful in terms of championships. The Mets have only won the World
Series twice (Pre-Joo in 1969, and of course in 1986) while the Giants
have won the Super Bowl four times, and the Devils have skated with the
Stanley Cup three times.
What amazes me is not just how many times they've won but WHEN they won.
Sure the Mets won in 1986 but I was on the verge of turning 11 and not
really getting baseball. The Giants not only won in the 1986
season but also the 1990 season (thanks Norwood), as well as the recent
triumphs over the fucking Patriots. The Devils won in 1995 (the lockout
really soured me on hockey) and in 2000 and 2003, so you could say my
"adult" life has been blessed in terms of football and hockey. Shit, the
Devils are two wins away from ANOTHER Stanley Cup finals.
I absolutely feel spoiled when it comes to those two sports. Not that I
don't relish the victories but a Mets WS win is going to be that much
sweeter if and when it happens again. I don't know much but I know Frank
Francisco won't be around when it does. Fuck that guy with Thor's
hammer. And his cock.
