game lead, The Mets were dealt the final blow on the last day of September, denying
them the opprtunity to stand in the October Sun on a play-off field.

Season is over for The Mets but the story goes on for The
Mets Poet, Frank Messina. Click

What
do Jerry Seinfeld, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and poet Frank Messina have in common?
They're all 'Mutts'. While Jerry sports his favorite crumpled Mets hat to celebrity
shindigs, Hizzoner Bloomberg never fails to remind his predecessor and pal, Rudy
Giuliani, that the 'Kings of Queens' now rule New York. However, Messina turns
his love for America's favorite past time into quick-witted verse, much of which
is devoted to the long-tortured Mets fan.
