Moments of Overhearing

Edgy DC Sep 03 2010 07:01 AM

Woman, staring at her takeout coffee cup, to man as they exit my lobby: "And today, I don't know, there's like no spice in it at all." I'm thinking that folks can be strangely demanding about their lattes, when I enter the elevator, and damned if it doesn't smell like I just walked into a nutmeg factory.

See , Fman right there pulls out his favorite member and offers her some spice right then and there.

"Oh, I know, baby, there's TWO chicken patties up in that bitch! Choke on that shit, n*gga! SUCK ON THAT SHIT!" -A really excited-- and hungry?-- youngish dude exiting the Sutphin Blvd. F station yesterday evening, yelling into his phone.

I wonder if that woman was addressing the state of something other than her coffee.

"Where's Willie Randolph's plaque?" -- MFY fan in his late teens to his father at Cooperstown ----- Fman: Do you like to sleep or scream at night? Fgirl: Scream.

No Yankee fan in his late teens has ever heard of Willie Randolph. Nah, it makes perfect sense. As he was managing the Mets I'm sure everytime they played the Yankees Kay and whatnot played up how he was a "great Yankee" as a way to discredit him as anything related to the Mets. As a result, late teens yankees fans probably think he's the best 2B ever.

The context was something like this: There's some Willie memorabilia at the museum (can't remember exactly what, glossed over most of the MFY crap, may even be just a photo). Father was telling son what a great 2b Willie was and how he helped deliver more WCs to the MFY. Son then asks where Willie's plaque was. Found it interesting all the museum staff I spoke to were MFY fans (or maybe not). There was an older gentlemen named Michael who gave me an awesome history of baseball in NY and told me something I didn't know: apparently, the years after the Dodgers and Giants left New York, Yanqui home attendance fell.

Leave it to MFY fans to not tell the whole story. Yankee attendance went up slightly from 1958 to 1959 and every year thereafter until a slight drop in 1962 (I wonder what THAT was) and remained on a downward trend until 1972. http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams ... tend.shtml

The Second Spitter Sep 05 2010 06:53 PM Re: Moments of Overhearing

Maybe he meant to say the year after the Dodgers left. Yanqui attendance fell in '53 a year after they won the WS. (So did Giant attendance for that matter). Yanqui attendance remained more or less static until the Giants left town. His general point was that baseball in NY was dying.

I knew I arrived at the correct house when I heard Fgirl's screams 150 yards down the road. To CPF members who haven't had the pleasure of the Ffamily's hospitality, if you think the Fkids are adorable in photos, multiple that by 100 in real life. The City of Syracuse should list the Fhouse as a tourist attraction.

That goes for the rest of you CPF deadbeats too... a hot meal, a cold drink and a Mets game to watch on a big ass TV set. Door's open.

I'm bringing the first two seasons of "He's the Mayor" on Blu-Ray-- if you're not seeing it on a widescreen, you're not seeing it.
