For anyone that was still around at the very very end of the long broadcast, did you see the Master Card Priceless Moment? Which should have been a replay of Drew's homer, or Young's winning RBI, one of the various defensive gems, even could have been the Josh Hamilton heroics of the previous night...but no, the 208 All Star Game Master Card Priceless Moment was Steinbrenner arriving in his cart and getting kissed by those hypocritic highlander death-eaters, reggie, yogi, goose.

They just brought Steinbrenner out in a cart. Yogi (the man he fired 18 games into the 1985 season and who swore he'd never go back to Highlander Stadium) kissed George, and so did Reggie (the man George ran out of town for Winfield). Is there anything real about that organization? It is made up of fake smiles and public relations. That scene, among a million other things, ade me glad I'm a Mets fan.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('76255','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('76255','Rich','Ok, last comment.

Do you guys remember back in 1990 when the mets were picked to win the division easily and by early June were something like 9.5 games behind the pirates? Then the Mets won something like 18 out of 21 games before the All Star break to either tie or get withing 1 game of the Pirates? Then the all star break came and as soon as it was over and the season started again, the Mets got ICE cold and the Pirates never looked back? This win streak to get back within a game of the Phils feels just like that and it scares me. The Mets were so hot and then the all star break came and ended it. I hope for once, Met history doesn't repeat itself.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('76211','Frank from Jersey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('76211','Frank from Jersey','Crap, didn\'t mean to submit yet...\r\n\r\nDo you guys remember back in 1990 when the mets were picked to win the division easily and by early June were something like 9.5 games behind the pirates?

I also want to agree with your sentiments about not getting too high on the Mets just yet. I've seen way too many times they put on a winning streak and followed with an equal or worse losing streak but i will say that watching this team lately, I feel like it's a completely different team than 2-3 weeks ago.
