Ironically, I am a Red Sox fan.  I feel I need to come clean.  I am from the middle of the country, with the closest professional sports teams being the ones in Dallas.  I hate Texas, so I had to pick my own teams.  My dad is from Boston, so I have been a Red Sox fan for the last 20 years.  However, one of my roommates is in the same situation, but his dad is from New York, and a Mets fan.  Therefore, I watch a lot of Mets and Sox games.  I have always dug the Sox, and still do.  However, while still good, the team has a lot of lame players on it this year.  I mean besides Varitek, Ortiz and Ramirez I really don't like anyone on their team.  Well Coco is alright, but I hate Schilling and the new players they got from Florida.  Their middle infield is lame as well.  Plus, after they won the Series, alot of "fans" around my campus have been wearing Sox hats.  Not cool.

Now, the Sox are still my team, but in the NL I am now a fairly new Mets fan (last two years).  Reyes, Wright, Floyd and Delgado are all classic, and I will always love Pedro.  I really like their minor league outfielder Diaz, who got in some games last year, and, really, the only player I don't like is Wagner.  I guess I route for the Red Sox and a team from the NL with the coolest players.  It just so happens that it is the Mets this year.  RED SOX JUST SCORED ORTIZ RBI- Anyways, Keith Hernandez is one of the coolest first basemen ever, and I played 1st base in high school.  Plus, liking the Mets goes along with another thing I hold true, hating the yankees.

As previously mentioned, Hernandez saw a woman who is like the team  masseuse in the dug out.  He then said:

         "Who is the girl in the dugout, with the long hair? What's going on here? You have got to be kidding me. Only player personnel in the dugout." After Hernandez was informed later in the broadcast that Calabrese was a club employee, he maintained his position, stating "I won't say that women belong in the kitchen, but they don't belong in the dugout."

He then apologized by saying:
 
     "You know I am only teasing. I love you gals out there — always have."


Hernandez was also a cocaine user and a chain smoker.  He smoked two and a half packs of cigarettes during  game 6 of the 1986 NLCS (where my signature comes from).  I am also a chain smoker, and have had a past with the white, so it makes me like him more I guess.  He also does broadcasting for the mets nerwork (where those quotes above came from) and always talks about getting drunk and whatnot. 


Classy guy.

The Red Sox are fine by me, I love watching them beat the Yankees, I just think being a Red Sox fan would be too painful... I root for them unless they're playing my Mets. As a Mets fan, I am preprogrammed to hate the Yankees and the Braves and there's really no one else that's hated, not even the Phillies or the Marlins or etc. When the Yankees played the Braves in the World Series, however, all I could really root for was an earthquake of some kind.

My apologies for kinda hijacking the thread, however. I was asked and answered but... I can be superlongwinded at times. Mea culpa.

If you switched Red Sox with Mets those are my feelings exactly.  I hate the Braves as well, because all of the rednecks here like them.  I also kind of hate the Phillies, just because of the early 90's teams.

As for baseball, the key is to imagine rounders...

Imagine what?  Speak English!

Once in awhile during Met games, Keith will give his advice on hitting as if he is Ted Williams.  Is good.

It appears that foreigners believe that baseball is a lot like watching Matt Damon play poker.

Which, actually, wouldn't be such a bad idea. Any sport would be improved by the possibility of a half-naked Minnie Driver barging into the situation, screaming like a loon.

I was reading the thread from friday, and didn't realize you were the one that called out that Vonnegut quote. 

Do you play bass as well?  Are you my twin?

Sorry if this is off topic, or bad to say.

NOTE: I will always have a soft spot for the Mets 'cause they were stupid enough to draft me in Piazza-territory and I was stupid enough to sign.

It was a nice summer/fall in rookie league, once the mosquitos and booming gopher pitches were erased from memory.

Of course, if I had made it up with that era's high flying Mets I'd look like Keith Moon's head now, I'm certain.

That's awesome.  You got a decent signing bonus though, right?

Yeah, yeah.  We all wish we looked like Keith Moon's head now.

And I'd just like to apologize for posting a nice crisp photo of Keith Moon's junk in this thread. I am a bad, bad person.
