As the lowly Mets saunter on into ATL to face the Braves my mind wanders off to a place it probably shouldn’t be, the past.  This series was supposed to have some juice what with the whole old rivals thing but there really isn’t much to say regarding a team that’s already been eliminated and the other 6 or 7 games out depending which standings column you’re checking.  Well here’s something.  Maybe, just maybe the Mets can muster up some pride and play spoiler here.  Hell, even if the Braves were 10 games out of the wild card we should still want to slap them around.  Perhaps, these Mets can show a little life here and give us all something to look forward to next year(see below).  I’m not optimistic (I’m a Mets fan) so here are some other bits of news to keep you entertained while this season drags on:

Lenny Dykstra Steals FROM HIMSELF!  Has Mold
It seems as if Lenny Dykstra has stolen (from his own) home; In an effort to pull a fast one on auditors who were appointed to oversee his finances.  One of the items removed from the house he purchased from Wayne Gretzky for a reported $17.4 Million was a French Stove valued at $40K.  Furniture was also stolen and presumed sold.  His other property recently suffered an unfortunate pipe burst and is now mold ridden.  I hope Lenny doesn’t insist on his meals being prepared on a designer stove because I’m pretty sure where he is going making grilled cheese on the radiator is standard operating procedure.   I’m sure Koosman has this down pat by now.  Read the whole article here.

 2010 Schedule Released!
Yes its already time to start thinking about next season, well in fact I’ve been thinking about next season since probably about mid july when I realized this ship we all sail on was sinking fast.  You can already start making plans for next year.  Highlights include, opening at home against the Marlins (I get it, if we play them first next season we will have better fortune then the seasons when we end against them) We go to Philly at the end of April and welcome the Phils to Queens at the end of May.  Interleague Away is at Baltimore and Cleveland and Interleague at home will be Twins (Ohh Santana vs Twins) and Detroit.  Of course the loveable Yanks will be at Citi and We will be in the Bronx (May and June respectively)  Check the whole schedule here
