Filowitz's Friday Five

1) I wonder what it's like to be a Mets fan right now. It must be agonizing. It must be this incredible mixture of depression and helplessness, like watching some tragedy from afar where you are rendered unable to do anything about it. It must be like, well, exactly what Martin is feeling right now.

2) Here's something to cheer up Mets fans, and Red Sox fans, too: remember the Tigers last year? They did this exact same thing. They were way ahead of the Central for most of the year. They staged a spectacular collapse, eventually losing the division to the Twins and just barely beating out the White Sox to get into the playoffs. What happened to them? They went to the World Series. Um, and lost, but still.

3) It could be worse - you could be a Cubs fan. They haven't won anything in what may as well be forever. I've never seen a fan base so unwilling to believe in their team, and a fan base with such good reason to feel that way. If they end up losing the division to Milwaukee and only have Rex Grossman to look forward to - well, you don't exactly "look forward" to Rex Grossman, do you?

4) Madlib, Beat Konducta In India (Vol. 3-4) If you don't know, remember who told ya.

5) To all the fantasy owners of Steven Jackson and any member of the Saints offense, let me get Bill Clinton over here: I feel your pain. Oh yes, I feel your pain.
