Lawrence P sent in the following e-mail, which made me laugh:
“Every one is looking for a jinx and a scapegoat and I think I found it.
“On August 7, Giuseppe Franco took batting practice at Shea Stadium. The team went 27–10 in their next 37 games. On September 13, Franco’s fan-favorite Precede ad stopped airing on SNY, and the team went 7–10 in their final 17 games.”
…so there you have it, folks, SNY, your local cable provider and Procede are responsible for the Mets not making the playoffs, because franco was removed from the air…

No, we lost because the tean didn’t have enough horses at the end (AGAIN) because our GM is not a bright person.
By the way, can someone tell me why Minaya-favorite Ambiorox Burgos is still a member of the organization after he was found biting and beating up his girlfriend at the LGA Holiday Inn?
Because Marv Albert put in a good word for him.
good one.
Damn Giuseppe Franco and his thick, lustrous hair!!!
maybe we should sign franco then
He’d be better than Julio Franco.
As much as we complained about Guiseppe Franco’s ad, I would take his ad any day of the week over that awful “Our top story of the day: A new toll free hotline has been established for people with fixed interest mortgage loans”. That is the worst commercial ever – and they play it at every commercial!
too funny , thanks for making laugh on this ugly day!
Thats what she said
I hate that commercial so much.
I wonder if they got more calls for the fixed mortgage or to complain about her fake eyebrows.
I like how Lawrence P noted the exact date that the ads stopped airing.
When reached for comment Guiseppe said, “I didn’t jinx the Mets, I don’t know anything about it”
I’m not a jinx…Gary Busey is the jinx!
EXCUSE YOU
Talk about a jinx? what about thing you posted 14 days ago?
Moratorium on the magic number until it’s a single digit!!
“I don’t own this collapse – I don’t own anything about it” – G. Franco
You coulda been on the road to an World Series title RIGHT NOW…if you’d gotten on the Giuseppe Franco program.
“Look. I’m Giuseppe Franco. I’m not going to put my name on this F*****G Network for a team trotting Luis Castillo out to play second base everyday.”
How can we get Giuseppe’s mug plastered on the outfield walls of Citifield next year?
Guiseppe for Manager, Busey for GM!
Dude, I am waaaaay ahead of you…

Pretty sure the magic number was posted in 2006 too.
Get Franco in the Mr. Met costume immediately.
I believe in karma, as evidenced by me moving into the same positions each half inning, and it might very well have been Procede.
I know it’s a tough day to be a fan, but does Cerrone seem extra bitter?
Hey, what if we had Giuseppe Franco holding the magic number? Would that be good luck or a jinx?
And Busey hugging him?
lol, Busey could play the part of the phanatic.
procede is the only product that works on the appearance of your thinning playoff chances.
lol thats a good one.
hmm who else can we use as a scapegoat? Matt and posting the magic number, Franco… how about the team that didn’t get it done?
well, then it wouldn’t be a scapegoat…it would be reality!
I think we should also let the guy from the smoking commercials last year be our PA announcer at Citifield…let’s exorcise all the informercial demons together!
You don’t always die from Tobacco
sometimes you just lose a lung.
You don’t always die from Tobacco
sometimes they just snip out your tongue.
But you can’t sing worth a heck
With a big a big hole in your neck
You don’t always die from tobacco.
this song rings true; you don’t always die from tobacco, but you always die on the inside when the Mets miss the playoffs in agonizing fashion
F to the R to the E to the E to the C to the R to the E D I T.

COME ON EVERYBODY GRAB YOUR BIKES AND SING ALONG!!!
We lost b/c Omar has too high an opinion of the moves he makes and doesn’t look at the team objectively… same thing for a lot of these players who over-value their own skills and think they are good enough to dominate when they aren’t even good enough to just plain win out … if we don’t fire omar and clean house now, we’re just delaying the day until we get headed in the right direction
Forget the Mets for now.
The economic bailout was rejected 228-205. I’m not saying I was 100% for it, but any way you slice it, this is bad.
REAL rough times ahead.
On a Mets note, we’ll get ‘em next year. Have a good winter folks, and see you next season.
By the way, how about we talk about the way the Shea goodbye celebration was handled. What other organization would have handled this so poorly? It is like the Mets organziation constantly make a**es of themselves.
Why couldn’t they do it before yesterday’s game?
The only reason why people are complaining now that it was “poor” is cause it followed a season ending loss.
It was also raining till 2pm, so the game wouldn’t have started till 4pm thus interfereing with ESPN/FOX or whoevers timeslot.
I’m pretty sure it would have been a bigger fiasco having the legends do the ceremony in the pouring rain.
Going home to Seaver-Piazza was MUCH better than going home to a season ending fly out.
no the jinx is that cerrone posted the magic number with 17 games left even though he took a poll and the majority of people did not want him to post it but he did it any ways.
cuz he said and i quote “This is a different team” he said that he was confident that the mets wouldn’t collaspse.
way to go cerrone, way to blow it two years in a row.
great job!
hopefully we u can do the same thing next year and we can collapse again NOTTTT
Are you serious?
Red sox had the bambino, Cubs have the billy goat..
And the best jinx you can come up with for the mets is that Matt Cerone of metsblog.com posted the magic number? I love metsblog but dude are you nuts?
