"Charmin Ultra Soft...the only thing on the planet softer than the NY Mets. Extra Absorbent to soak up more than 95% of Mets fans tears!"
The ad copy almost writes itself... /media/kunena/emoticons/silly.png
Our poster boy! Choking is just a specific type of squeezing...
SWEET--Lindor gets a 2 thumbs up. Diaz gives agita as usual.
Will watch it as those 86 Mets were a cast of characters via on demand--watching the game versus Cardsfordham96 post=439099 said:

Forget about this paper mache franchise now, man, those first 2 parts brought me back. Everything, and I mean everything, was better back then. Dykstra, not surprisingly, is hilarious and that Tears for Fears montage at the end of part 2 fired me up. I thought I knew everything about that team too.

Think (hopefully) the ice beneath him as already melted. Listening to him say Mets still have a realistic chance at playoffs after Wed loss when they fell 5 games behind and have to pass about 50 teams was cringe worthy.BrooklynRed post=439301 said:

The whole doc is amazing. To learn things about that team I didn’t already know I thought was impossible. Also, the camera following Mookie from the field to the locker room after Game 6 was amazing, I’d never seen that before.
But, that Tears for Fears montage at the end of Part 2 is my favorite part. The July 3rd game against Houston and the legendary game in Cincy with the Reagan speech and the scenes of NYC circa mid 80s is one of the best montages I’ve ever seen. If that don’t make you nostalgic, nothing will.
And…then the This Week in Baseball theme with Doc getting shelled in the ASG right after it, during the credits, is just sad. That song is like super dramatic to begin with, with all the violins and stuff, juxtaposed to a guy who’s career was (unknowingly) falling apart is something else.
And, it also made me hate the present team just a little more. Grew up with a team that would have been in the playoffs from ‘84-‘88 if there was a WC to a team that chokes consistently. Fitting they were showing this while the present team was getting swept by STL of course.

Back then a lot of the mets lived in Port Washington. A family friend was a Port Washington Cop. Strawberry, I'm pretty sure Gooden and a bunch others lived there. They used to go to Finn MaCools a lot. He said Strawberry was a super nice guy. Back then there were some times the cops actually drove them home from the bars.guinness77 post=439371 said:
