But some major triploid grass carping by O’Neill will clean it up pronto!
Those days are gone, a byproduct of realignment that has the Mets in the East and the Cardinals in the Central. But it’s still easy to work up a dislike for anyone and anything that comes from the self-absorbed Big Apple. So for you fans who need motivation, here are some current reasons to dislike the visiting Metropolitans.
...The Curse of Keith: The Cardinals have not won a World Series since 1982, or since they traded Keith Hernandez to the Mets in the 1983 season. If you scramble the names of the people involved in the trade - Rick Wayne Ownbey, Neil Patrick Allen and Keith Hernandez, you can spell “Won’t Win Any,” or “Won’t Catch Any Break.”
You can also spell “Draw Another Beer.” - not sure about the significance of that.
Thanks to Can’t Stop the Bleeding.

There; that should get the thread closed.
Anyway, far too light-hearted an article for my tastes. The Mets are worthy of genuine hatred.
Actually, you spell "won't win any rick e bey nel parick alle keith hernandez" or "won't catch any break i wney Neil Prik lle Keih ernandez". Which makes a worse point. I think.
