    View Article  M.y E.ntire T.eam S.ucks

    (image from artnet.com)

    A few years ago I was at a client's art auction and one of the lots they were selling was a Lee Friedlander photograph titled "My Entire Team Sucks".  I thought about buying it but later thought it was a bit silly for the time as the Mets were in the middle of their 2006 dominance. 

    Now that I look back I wish that I did purchase it because the M.E.T.S acronym is very appropriate and it might have turned out to be a better investment than putting my money into buying Citi stock. 

    I love the description of this photograph, and I quote:

    Printed early 1990s. Lee Friedlander presents an oblique often refracted vision of the social landscape in America. Here he fixes on the rude and rueful lament of a New York Mets fan etched into a soaped shop window. The bleary upper levels of the tripartite composition reflect three rows of windows in a tenement façade opposite. The work is a wry tribute to the perennial disappointment of the sports fan.

    Haha, that is fantastic!  Oh well, *sigh* at least I accept that my entire team sucks. 
    View Article  Fall of the Mets and Dykstra
             

    You can see the similarities between the personal drama of Lenny Dykstra and the New York Mets organization.  Both have fallen from the ugly try, hard and fast and have hit every branch on the way down.  Now Nails is selling some of his personal Mets memorabilia to the highest bidder at an upcoming auction, from this fans perspective I hope the Mets continue to follow the Lenny Dykstra lead and sell off many of the parts who play/work/own this Organization.  Actually, the Mets shouldn't be called a Baseball Organization, they should be called a Baseball Chaos. 

    That's about all the energy I want to spend writing and talking about the Mutts.
