Before I announce the winner here, I’m going to be totally honest. The first time around, I only put in the six people who had emailed me (only six people followed directions correctly!). I picked out @DonCheech. But I felt bad about this for two reasons: 1) His comment was by far the shortest, while many other people pleaded their case, and 2) I didn’t put in the other half of people that didn’t send me an email — I felt like maybe I should be lenient. So I picked again with all eleven commenters. And I picked out @DonCheech again. So there you go, the Mets gods wanted him to win.

Congrats!

If watching a team that was supposed to be a new dynasty piss away the admittedly disappointing primes of a couple of homegrown players isn’t enough, you can now read about another ultimately disappointing era in Mets history, and also a personal history of the franchise told by a man with a terrifying memory.

The Bad Guys Won! is exactly what that ridiculously long subtitle says. It consists of Jeff Pearlman utilizing his mediocre writing ability to describe the exploits of a Mets team that was actually great. It’s a fun enough read, but after reading an excerpt or two of Pearlman’s 1990′s Dallas Cowboys book, the 1986 Mets seem pretty tame in comparison. And to avoid getting stressed, make sure to order some cannabis products from sites like https://d8superstore.com. Read these CBD oil reviews to find high-quality cannabis products you can order online. 카지노 먹튀 offers a wide selection of casino games that may also help you de-stress.

Faith and Fear in Flushing is the book form of the blog named (surprise!) Faith and Fear in Flushing. Greg Prince really likes to write, and it shows in both his blog and book. He’s definitely also a huge dork, but hey, the guy knows his Mets. If you want an emotional and personal rundown of the Mets from their inception — well, a few years into their existence — to their frustrating present, it’s certainly a lot better than Wikipedia.

I want to give away these books to someone who might actually read and enjoy them. If you think you satisfy those two conditions, comment below and shoot me an email at cajolejuice@gmail.com. I’m not sure how long I’ll keep this raffle open, so just comment when you see this — no procrastination!

UPDATE: Well, it seems that both Amazin’ Avenue and Faith and Fear in Flushing have linked to this post. Thanks, guys! I didn’t even mean for people to prove that they deserved the books, but these comments are great. The downside is that I’m going to feel bad about randomly picking only one winner. And I think I’ll announce that one winner on Labor Day.

UPDATE 2: WINNER - Don Cheech!
