"METS Fans for YANKEEEEEEES!"


As my boys Boomer and Carton say on the morning show on the the WFAN (and now on TV on MSG!) Well, sort of.
My hopes for the playoffs this year basically are:

A) Anyone to beat the Phillies.

and

B) No ALCS Game 7 on October 23rd because I don't need the Yankees fans at my wedding running out to check the score of the game.

I started this piece during the season, and then stopped because the Mets went on a losing streak and I was convinced I had jinxed them with this bit of artistic infidelity. Good thing they started winning again as soon as I shelved the piece, right? Nope!
But as the Fall came around again and the Mets faded (or disappeared instantly) from contention I was inspired once again by the ageless majesty that is Mariano Rivera.

So I'm rooting for a quick series (which isn't helped by the fact that as I write this they are tied 1-1). I do like the idea of the Texas Rangers winning, especially since I am told Ian Kinsler is some kind of distant cousin of mine, or something. But I gotta be honest, I loved that shot of George W. Bush looking like he got the Florida election results back (before they changed them) when the Yankees came back to win Game 1.

So once again, I'm left with just hoping the series doesn't go 7 and most importantly- Phuck the Phillies.

Hope you like the piece, and I'm sorry to any of my Mets fans who I just pissed off by posting this painting.

Oh yeah, this piece is for sale so if you want it holla at your boy.
