Maybe we should all break out our lucky charms.

The tried and true ones from years past. I think some of us even have lucky couches. Nobody has thrown them out have they?

Back in the 80s, John Travolta was in the booth promoting his new movie. Ralph made a comment like, "you're in a movie with Jamie Lee Curtis and I once dated her mother." So for a while I would watch Met games with a photo of Janet Leigh on the TV. Somehow I thought this would bring the Mets luck. I might have to print one out and place it on the TV tonight.

I trust the velvet pants still fit then Cooby? I don't have a lucky charm....damn

Benjamin Grimm Sep 16 2008 01:03 PM

Please note: Any lucky charms that we might have used LAST September were clearly defective and should not be utilized this time around.

Given the urban legends about Ms. Curtis's birth, it's a good thing that Ralph went in that direction.

Satan will save us!

Benjamin Grimm Sep 16 2008 01:28 PM

I had two nice old ladies come to my door this afternoon to tell me that Satan is in control of the world.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 16 2008 01:32 PM

Well if that's not a good omen I don't know what is.

Giambi let me borrow his golden thong. What do you think? Should I wear it?

Benjamin Grimm Sep 16 2008 01:42 PM

Have it laundered first.

metirish Sep 16 2008 01:45 PM

You better hope Jeter didn't have it last. Throw some Valtrax in the wash just in case.

This year was the first time in my life I have watched baseball without worrying too much about superstition. I figure, since nothing I did worked last September, all my good luck charms suck.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 16 2008 02:16 PM

I'm not at all superstitious, but even I sometimes find myself thinking that the Mets were doing better before I put my feet on the coffee table, or that they won't get this run home as long as the dog is whimpering at the door. I even think such thoughts when I'm watching a TiVoed game from the night before! Even if my coffee table had magic powers, it can't be powerful enough to alter the course of history and change the outcome of a game that's already been played!

I'm on my way to Nationals Park and I made sure to wear my "1969" jeans from the Gap.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 16 2008 02:23 PM

Maybe we should all do 69 stuff tonight.

metirish Sep 16 2008 02:29 PM

Oh my ......I have nothing...

Rockin' Doc Sep 16 2008 05:04 PM

Yeah...well...that's because your married now, irish.

Ben Grimm - "I had two nice old ladies come to my door this afternoon to tell me that Satan is in control of the world." I certainly hope not, otherwise the Yankees will win the World Series.

metirish Sep 16 2008 05:12 PM

Was Grim planing the 69's with those old ladies?

Kong76 Sep 16 2008 06:06 PM

BG: I had two nice old ladies come to my door this afternoon to tell me that Satan is in control of the world<<< I have no patience for religious solicitors and I'm not allowed to an- swer the door for this reason. "Satan? Cool, things are going as I planned!" *slam* "God rules this house, he's here for coffee. Would you like to join us?" "You ol' gals ain't wearin' bras are ya? Come on in, let's chat ... the wife won't be home for hours!"

HahnSolo Sep 16 2008 07:50 PM

The Janet Leigh photo didn't work. Sorry gang.

]Maybe we should all break out our lucky charms. Well the Lucky Charms didn't work. So today everyone has to break out their Quisp, Quake, Count Chocula or Frankenberry and see if they work.

Mendoza Line Sep 17 2008 07:23 AM

No lucky charms, but I'm putting my personal four game winning streak on the line at the game tonight. And I'm breaking out my new FAFIF retired numbers T-shirt for the occasion.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 17 2008 07:24 AM

I think I need to go back to Hawaii. The Mets were winning and winning when I was there, and the losing has returned since I have. If everyone wants to chip in for airfare for a family of four to go to Hawaii, I'll set up a PayPal account.

Vic Sage Sep 17 2008 08:37 AM

Lucky Charms? I've heard that they're magically delicious!

Rockin' Doc Sep 17 2008 05:46 PM

If the Mets don't start winning soon, I may be forced to do the beer and inning gig again. Of course with tomorrow being a work day, I'm hoping the team will snap out of their current losing streak and make such a gesture unnecessary by the time the weekend rolls around.
