I’ve become manic depressive by having these Mets toy with my emotions day after day. What did I do to deserve this? Why are you making this so painful? After continuously crushing my will to live and leaving the coffin one nail short of sealed, you decide to slip in a breath of air? The elation that I got from the glimmer of hope that you gave me today, John Maine, is only to set me up for disappointment tomorrow. Why do you do this to me? Why? I can’t hold my breath this long. I’m grasping for air as I suffocate from the plastic bag over my head. Will Tom Glavine help me to remove this bag and breathe freely? Probably not. Tomorrow will be more of the same. You will toy with my emotions again. You will dangle the possibility of another game in front of me and then snatch it away. Then dangle it again, and take it away again. I, like the sucker I am, will anticipate your every move with exhilaration, until I am left holding my head in disillusionment, disappointment, disbelief. Be that as it may, I’d rather be miserable loving you than bored without you. Give me something to live for. Let’s Go Mets.

One can rationalize the recent poor play of the Mets by a defeatist attitude and questionable management. But fuck that, I blame Dane Cook. (continue reading…)

The Office returned to NBC with a one hour “marathon” episode last night – literally. There were some revelations, some shocks and some love. Just a quick recap of who’s with who and what’s going on. If you haven’t seen it yet, you can check it out on NBC.com.

Everyone’s out of the relationship closet, it seems. No more secrets. The “surprise” is that Jim and Pam are dating. They tried to hide it from everyone, but the cameras caught them meeting up after work and kissing. Lovely. Karen’s gone and I’m going to miss her, but she’ll apparently be back for a couple of episodes later in the season. (continue reading…)

…there’s nothing more to be said. Nothing.

With the second season of Heroes underway, let the theorizing begin! Episoide 1, “Four Months Later,” opened a whole new set of questions that fans with too much time on their hands (much like myself), can theorize about. Let’s dive right in…

Who’s the guy that killed Mr. Nakamura?

“Of all of them, I never expected it would be you.”

Was it really a guy? It was someone, or something, in a hooded sweatshirt. Is Mr. Nakamura even dead? Those are just some of the questions that spawn from that scene. Here are some thoughts:

If indeed Mr. Nakamura was killed, my guess is that he was killed by someone from his own generation of Heroes. Namely, Mrs. Petrelli. She knew where he was, and they had gotten into an argument earlier on that rooftop. She knew she was going to die as well, so maybe she thought that killing him would prevent her own death. To put her in a hooded sweatshirt might be a little bit of a stretch, but it would be a surprise – and that’s what they look to do. (continue reading…)
