There are aspects of modern life that are enough to
drive one to drink, but we don't talk about that here.
That would drive is to drink more, and good booze ain't cheap.
Cheaper than psychiatry.
$600/hour vs a $40 bottle of decent stuff... no contest.
And for the desperate, a $10 bottle of indecent stuff.
Keep one in therapy for a good long time.
1962. My late dad was a NY Giants fan until they bailed for San Francisco.
I wonder how many people kept up their loyalty even
after being kicked to the ground by the ownership.
Hard to say. Some Dodger fans followed the team, but most told them
to take a hike since they were going anyway.
I suppose the Mets filled that long-felt want of the
New York loyalists who couldn't bear to be Yankees fans.
Also what would happen if teams had to use players with a
major connection to the cities in question. Probably there
would be strong clubs in places like Spavinaw, Oklahoma.
Possibly. The Dominican Republic would dominate the league.
The World Series might have the DR, Venezuela, and Cuba
every year.
Braves take on these guys in the first place? They were
an established franchise, whereas the Mets were just
amazin'.
No idea. It happened.
Was it like, oh, let's pick a team to hate, here's one
that's wimpy and scrawny and has Ed Kranepool on it.
There was a big rivalry for years. It's hung on a bit.
Hellmann's is to real mayo as zucchini is to hot dogs.
If hot dogs tasted like zucchini, I'd not be interested,
but if zucchini tasted like hot dogs, that wou;dn't be
so bad.
That depends on the hot dogs.
Well, that's so. I thought of getting a Costco hot dog
the other day to see if they had gone downhill the way
the Internet says.
You can have my share.
Give me a buck fifty and I'll eat your share for you.
