BRING BACK THE BLUE HATS.

Higher and Higher - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band [live] - mp3, 12mb

“Higher and Higher” was chosen by TBF as his 2008 “Mets Win!” song. We had been listening to Jackie Wilson’s original those odd few times earlier this year it had been appropriate to break it out, until TBF looked this one up (from Boston 3/25/77, with the Miami Horns, aka The La Bamba Horns, aka the Max Weinberg 7 Horns).  Tonight, after this come-from-behind, no we are NOT going to break our 9 game winning streak, [expletive] Cincinnati, win, it seemed appropriate to share with the rest of you.

What a game! What a huge, huge game. They fought. They battled. They got ahead… they fell behind… they came back… they fell behind AGAIN… and they came back AGAIN!

There was shouting.
There was dancing.
The cat hid under the coffee table.
We danced around the room some more.

So far, the after-game playlist has been “Taking Care of Business,” the original “Higher and Higher,” “Mary’s Place,” and now “Let’s Go Crazy.”

Maybe it’s true? Maybe?

When we were discussing our summer vacation plans, and what we want to take out of the joint tour/playoff fund, I said, “Maybe we should wait until the middle of August to decide whether or not we should take any money out.”  Right now, I’m going to back that. I’m going to back it because it’s more fun to believe and have fun than it is to slink around and mope. They could let us down again, but right now, at least going to Mets games will be enjoyable again.
