No, I'm sure you're not jealous. The games must have been just as fun to watch on your 13-inch TV. In fact, I'm sure if someone had given you tickets, you would have thrown them away, right? What kind of Mets fan would possibly want to be at Shea when the Mets win the NLCS?

I wasn't going to say anything but I figure I had to jump in now that this is getting messy. While I don't agree with Al Gore's politics I must agree with his statement here. It is all well and good that you attended all those games, but do we really need to see it in your signature...my G-d it is like twice as long as all your posts.
Save it for a thread when a discussion will come up about best games you attended. And the fact that Al isn't jealous of you doesn't make him a worse fan than you. Maybe Al doesn't have the monetary means (sorry if this is wron Al) to attend all those games and is happy having watched them at home and maybe attended a few but saved some money in the end. I mean Woody Allen has probably atteneded every great Knicks game in the last ten years, doesn't mean he is a better fan than the average guy.
Finally, you come off sounding like a pompous prick who lowers himself to speak to the peons of this forum who have not been fortunate enough to attend those games. I am sure that is not how you really are, but that is the sense that I get from your posts.

I see nothing wrong with your signature. Sometimes when I drive in my Mercedes convertible with my Armani jacket blowing in the breeze, I check the time on my Rolex and realize it's time to get my Gucci shoes shined. And then I remember how nice it was to be at Game 6 of the '86 World Series.
Seriously, you may be a nice guy but you make a poor first impression.

1. Don't know, I was born in 1977, Tug was before my time.
2. Either Cleon Jones or Tommy Agee, I think Agee.
3. A lot, I'll guess around 160. Figure about 40 seasons times 4 per season.
What's your point? Only real Mets fans know exactly how many 3rd basemen the team has had? Believe me, I know everything there is to know about the Mets since I was 8 years old (1986).
You people are ridiculous. The only reason I attended those games is because I am partial season ticket holder. Since when does that make me a rich snobby bastard?

Dear pompous arrogant ass,
The term "made an out" does not mean "caught the final out." The person who hit it "made" it. The person who "caught" it "caught it."
Maybe if you wouldn't revel in your self-glory, you'd know that Cleon Jones caught it in leftfield. Like any true Mets fan hasn't seen that highlight a thousand times. Idiot.
