For the second straight year, the Mets handed the NL East title to the Phillies.
For the second straight year, the Mets lost the last game of the season, sealing their fate for not playing in October.
But I’m not going to harp on it. In fact, I’m sort [...]

As many of you know, every year myself, James, and Mehler combine our birthdays into one big triple birthday extravaganza. This year, we’re throwing something else into the mix: a fund raising event we’re calling Nick’s Marathon. In honor of Nicholas Capobianco, who passed away earlier this year memory, we’re going to raise [...]

I’m doing these piece-meal, so deal with it.
Entourage: The All Out Fall Out - I could not believe that the young punk agent let Ari bitch-slap him and didn’t try to take him down. Ari is more popular in the Hollywood world, but that kid could have definitely taken him in a fight, abd uiit [...]

Dear New York Mets,
Hey guys, how are you? Rough night? Yeah, me too.
Well, let me start out by saying that I still have faith in you, and I believe that you WILL not only make it to the playoffs, but that you will do so by capturing the NL East pennant.

According to this article, Flight of the Conchords, one of the funniest shows to ever air on HBO, may call it quits after its upcoming second season.
This makes me very sad.
And yet, part of me understands why Bret and Jermaine want to pull the plug on their own show.

After watching the first half of Season Seven, I have come to realize even more just how weak Season Six was. Where the previous year sort of meandered around, this season has really hit the ground running: The First is pissed off and looking to open the Hellmouth. The feeling of high tension [...]

Sorry to keep y’all waiting, but I warned you the posts would come a little fewer and further between. The TV season has kicked off, so here are some real quick mini-impressions of what’s premiered so far.
True Blood: Strange Love - This series has potential, but the writing has got to improve. The [...]
