Abbyshot replicas is this really cool outfit that makes replicas of movie costumes. I’m getting myself one of the coats I’m shown wearing above: It’s a replica of the coat that Harrison Ford wore as Deckard in “Blade Runner.” The cool thing about it is that it’s made of this astounding material that sheds water like nothing I’ve ever seen, so it’s an ideal raincoat (they also make a version made of more normal material for those who want to have that beaten up, rumpled “Blade Runner” look.) They also make Mal Reynolds coats, that yellow jacket Uma Thurman wore in “Kill Bill,” and other stuff. Check it out. Abbyshot

I’m hoping they don’t make it into the post-season.

This has gone beyond agonizing or embarrassing. This is just sad. Being swept by the NATIONALS? The lowest scoring team in the league and they’re averaging nine runs a game? What’s going to happen when they go up against teams that actually don’t suck?

If somehow within the next week they get their act together and actually capture the league championship rather than back into it because the Phillies lose, then maybe…MAYbe. But as it stands now, the Mets missing out on postseason play would be a mercy killing.
