Varsity loses!!! (J.V. wins)
New York has two major league baseball teams, and there's never any question which one is top banana. Today we have a perfect illustration. Over the weekend, the Mets won their playoff round, advancing to the league finals; the Yankees were eliminated, being trounced by the Detroit Tigers.

I was working in NYC's main post office, across from Madison Square Garden, when the Mets won their first world series. They piped the game in over the PA system, and we threw mail all over the place in celebration when they won.

Today? Yankees you SUCK! Go METS!!
