This story has redeemed a dreary day for me. Could not love it more.

Oh, my fellow #Mets fans, this isn’t even close to The Worst. I, for one, remember the Inglorious Days of the 1993 Season, when we went 59-103 and finished … 38 games out of first place. Good times.

My fellow #Mets fans, I know we are saddened by the compete implosion of our team and our hopes for them. But on a much brighter note, I bring you glad tidings from Central NY, where our AAA #syracusemets team is tied for the division lead. Hope Springs Eternal! #MetsSky

Did I weep actual tears over Jeff Hiller’s Emmy nomination? YES. Yes, I did. I love this so much for him, and for the show.

For those of you who are too young to have experienced what it was like to be a Mets fan in the ‘90s, you are officially all caught up now.

I’m afraid I jinxed our Dicky Lovelady with my enthusiastic response to his first inning of work. Sorry, fellow Mets Fans!

Wasn’t watching where I was going and crashed into Stanley Tucci on Madison Avenue. He was carrying high-end shopping bags in both hands (very “Devil Wears Prada”). I was mortified.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

ESPN reporting that MLB suspended Phillies reliever Jose Alvarado for violation of drug policy. Out for 80 games and ineligible for post-season. This is 2nd drug suspension in NL East (after Braves’ Jurickson Profar). I really hope our Mets are playing clean.

On vacation in Florida and saw “Anora” today. As I’m sobbing at the final scene, the guy next to me loudly says, “That sucked!” The women next to him reply, “Yeah, I kept waiting for something to happen and nothing did.”
