Why? Why are the Mets not playing tonight? I need them now more than ever for I refuse to watch the ESPN Special on LeBron James and his choice of what NBA team he has chosen.Â
Frankly, I do care. I just don’t care for the theatrics and I will not take part in them in any shape or form.  I’ll just catch the highlights on Gieco Sportsnite.
So I have created my own top ten list of things I’d rather do than watch the LeBron James Special. Feel free to add your own if you feel you need to do so.
10. Watch the same episode of Beer Money back to back.
9. Listen to a Jonas Brothers Concert
8. Clean out my neighbors gutters
7. Read The Notebook in French
6. Watch a Phillies game
5. Follow Oliver Perez’s twitter account
4. Listen to We Built this City by Jefferson Starship continuously for 1 straight hour( no breaks)
3. Break three fingers
2. Fight a big rabid dog with nothing but a plastic straw.
1. Watch the YES Yankee Classic game which the Yankees beat the Mets when Castillo dropped the pop fly in the 9th

10. Watch “Selling New York” (on HGTV tonight at 9:00) and wonder if it’s too late for Lebron to catch it;
9. Lea Thompson film festival;

4. Make Sophie’s Choice;
3. Be both drawn & quartered;
2. Omar Minaya’s personal assistant for a day;

10–Listen to Axel Rose explain the 1001 reasons why his 17-years-in-the-making album isn’t selling.
9—Listen to Mike Francesa with no commercial breaks for 30 minutes.
8—Have Metsblog be my sole source for Mets info.
7—Go back to Las Vegas and bet again on the Mets last Saturday against Strasburg.
6—Debate Jerry Manuel’s merits or lack thereof.
5—Do the dishes for a large restaurant by myself.
4—Be forced to listen to a Congressional debate on which side is more completely owned by Corporate America.
3—Be locked in the cage next to Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now with a TV nearby that only gets the YES network.
2—Watch endless replays of the 2008 vice-presidential debate.
1—Watch LeBron choose the Nets (OK, it doesn’t really make sense, but what the hell; even Net fans can dream.)

if he doesnt go to NY after this spectacle he is putting on in Greenwich (basically in the Knicks backward), then he will jump to #1 on my most hated professional athletes…passing Oliver Perez, Martin Brodeur, Sidney Crosby and Alex Rodriguez.
I hope the garden crowd goes after him worse than they do for Brodeur…

Wait…Oliver Perez has a twitter account?
I was gonna watch the Brooklyn Cyclones but decided I want to see the Reds beat the Phils instead.
Also getting a kick out of reading across some blogs tonight that some of the Phils problems might be trouble in the clubhouse due to Werth having an affair with Utley’s wife…
1-0 Reds.

Wow I hadn’t heard about that so I googled “Werth Utley affair” and read a few things. My favorite was definitely this and I really enjoyed comments 3 & 4.

With no Mets game, the wife is catching up on “So you think you can dance”. I’ve chosen drinking beer, web surfing but I do have the announcement on in the background on my computer.
If he’s going to kill Cleveland with this conference, hopefully he is not going to Miami.
Good for him though, not too many athletes are able to stop the world. It’s gross, but he’s pulling it off.
