The battle between the Mets and the Cubs for the National League pennant continues Tuesday evening as the two sides square off in game 3 in Chicago.
The Mets are off to a strong start. They won the first two games in convincing style. Another thing that’s off to a strong start is the trash talk. WNYC’s Jim OGrady,a lifelong Mets fan and Jason Marck of our sister station WBEZ in Chicago, who bleeds Cubbies blue, and have been going at it for days.
While the players fight their battles on the baseball diamond,OUR stars have been sparring in the digital world. And believe me, it hasn't been pretty. Dear Jason, and
First of all,the Cubbies are doomed. Does your city not understand that you exist as a plush toy for the cruel enjoyment of the sports gods? I don’t perform the rules, I just watch them destroy the Cubs whene’er they dare approach The great Baseball Prize. They are Icarus and their bats are made of wax. Against the mighty Mets, or Jake Arietta will discover his Inner Choke Artist and baseballs shall rain down on Waveland Street like hail from a summer squall,like judgment from heaven.
All the best,
Jim
Dear Jim, or
None of your unhappy attempts at mockery or smack talk could possibly hurt me. This is really all I know about the Mets: their best years were fueled by more cocaine than even Pablo Escobar had ever seen,and their fans abhor the Yankees more than they worship their own team. Sounds like a real winner. No matter what happens, when it's all done I'll walk out of my house to birds chirping, or you'll walk out of yours to...mountains of rubbish.
