So somehow I’ve gone a full week without mentioning start of baseball season. In celebration of my favorite time of the year (face it – baseball season overlaps with the best weather in the Northern Hemisphere) I offer you a link to The Hold Steady’s version of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” that sings the praises of their beloved Twins.
As for my beloved Mets I must say they’ve looked good so far. It’s a bit bittersweet that I’m in school right now when the home opener begins in 5 minutes but Yahoo’s stat-tracker will help me cope.
I will point you towards Yard Work – a fine satirical baseball site. Specifically, check out the recent article on the 2007 Mets written by “Lou Reed.” Here’s my favorite part:
David Wright. Does that kid even realize that he owns this town? He could walk into Trump Tower, kick in Trump’s door, rip the wig off the bastard’s head and say, “This building. This is mine.” And Trump would have to give it up. Because David Wright owns New York in a way that Trump can only dream of, assuming Donald Trump is even still capable of the basic human act of dreaming.
