Truth, Justice and the National League East
by Greg Prince on 9 May 2006 2:36 pm 
Faster than a speeding Rollins…more powerful than a Bobby Abreu…able to leap Citizens Bank Park in a single bound.
Look, up in the sky! Or down the Turnpike!
It’s a mascot!
It’s a cranial mishap!
No, it’s Mr. Met feeling positively SUPER these days.
And why shouldn’t he be? Bolstered by a four-game lead, a .677 winning percentage and the long overdue vanquishing of the corrupt Coxmen, he arrives in an unsavory city determined to turn the nefarious Phanatic even greener with envy. Aided by his trusty superfriends Pedro Man, The Glavinator and Steve Trachsel (sorry, he’s just not all that dynamic), Mr. Met will twist Philadelphia bats into pretzels and prevail in the fight for truth, justice and the National League East!
At least that’s how it’s scripted. Stay tuned…

Hehe, Glavinator–I'm glad I've lived to see the day that Glavine has become that much of a Met.
May he continue to pitch well enough to maintain endearing nickname status.
