And I will call it Awesomestock

Posted on by

Last night I read over the last couple weeks’ worth of posts here and noticed two things:

First, I’ve fallen into a nasty habit of overusing commas. If, you’ve, noticed, well, my bad.

Second, I whine too much. I suppose that’s probably because so much of the writing on this site focuses on the Mets, and there has been plenty to complain about with regards to the team lately.

But with the Amazins coming off four straight neat wins over their biggest perceived and actual rivals, I’m not in the mood to whine today. Tomorrow I will get back to questioning the Mets’ logic on roster moves and doubting Jerry Manuel’s ability to manage a bullpen. Today is for awesome stuff.

So here starts the first-ever TedQuarters Awesomestock, a day for appreciating excellent things and ignoring — ever so briefly — all the fretful ones.

  2. Oh come on, Ted – The awesomeness started with the macaroni and cheese on a hot dog post.

    It’s only ten:30 in the morning but boy does that sound good.

  3. OK Ted, here’s a bit of awesome for you. Check out these ridiculous numbers by Rod Barajas vs PHL over the last three years:

    2008: 2 games 4 for 7 (.571) with 2 HR, 1 double, 6 RBI, and a 2.143 OPS
    2009: 4 games 5 for 10 (.500) with 2 HR, 1 double, 4 RBI, and a 1.767 OPS
    2010: 4 games 8 for 16 (.500) with 3 HR, 2 doubles, 8 RBI, and a 1.783 OPS

    I know how you feel about small sample sizes, but for the sake of Awesomestock, kindly ignore that fact.
