With all apologies to Jerry Seinfeld (who hasn't done much since his TV show ended) and uber-hot Julia Styles, Jon Stewart is America's best Met Lovin' Big Shot. He'd fit in perfectly here.<br><br><br><I>(Merged from Stewart Split, 7/17/2009</i>)

Pbbb. Disrespected the apple and Shea at all chances, hopped on the bandwagon about the Randolph firing being somehow extraordinary, and isn't as funny as half the posters here even with a staff.

I'm glad I'm not the only one around here who doesn't think that Jon Stewart is all that.

Any doubts I may have had about Jon Stewart's Met authenticity (and I didn't really have them) were allayed when Kevin Burkhardt interviewed him at Citi Field and he mentioned what a great home the Brooklyn Dodgers have here, or words to that effect.

Yeah, but by then it was a cheap easy cliched shot.
I have no doubt that he has a long history with the team, but Citi was made (and Shea torn down) for people like him.

It was all in the timing.
People like him? Late night basic cable hosts?

Call a spade a spade, sirrah-- you're an anti-hostite.
He's gotten a bit haughty at times of late-- the hang-'em-high righteousness with which he went after Jim Cramer was a bit unbecoming-- but I've been a fan of his work since the standup days, and wouldn't deign to piss on his-- nor most other folk's (save those mouth-breathing "I root for New York teams" fence-straddlers)-- Met-fan bonafides.

The ticket prices below Promenade reflects a Richness Outreach Program, for sure. But the fine print on the back indicates nothing regarding either smugness or humility.
There is no official No. 501, but John Stewart with an "h" came as close as anyone. People just didn't turn it into quite enough gold.

I think I made clear that I don't "piss on... his bonafides. But I certainly oppose his nomination as America's Best Met Lovin' Big Shot.

I think I started tuning Stewart out when the notion that he was a bona fide news man started gaining traction , or more precisely I would read that it was from Stewart that "young" people were getting their news.
Not for me , I stick to the BBC for that stuff and NBC Evening News with Brian Williams.

Yeah, I smell a CPF poll once some nominees are settled.
So far I'd toss out Stewart, Seinfeld and Julia Styles.
Who else ya got? Tim Robbins? Matthew Broderick?

This isn't a wank contest. But sure, you give your body to Stewart and I'lll give mine to Glenn.

Edgy, let's quit the bullshitting. We're on the internet. This whole place is a wank contest.
You go to Scotland. I change my vote to Julia, I'll get myself a Scott paper tissue.

For Fman, it's all about the wank. He's perpetually 14 years old.
Anyway, it seems that Ray Romano may not be not one of us after all. In a Q&A piece in the Daily News a week or so ago, he said he grew up as a Yankee fan in a Yankee household, even though he lived in Queens.
Perhaps he made the switch to the Mets at some point, but you wouldn't know it from that article.
