The Fan That Willed the Mets to Victory

I should feel banged up. A doubleheader in softball will do that to you.

But thanks to an old friend, and my fellow co-host on our short lived New York City public-access sports talk show, the New York Mets are a win richer.

You may remember the spotlight in the 8th inning. The guy with the hair that the boys from SNY so loved. I got about 7 phone calls about it from his adoring fans.

What you might not know is that the man with the hair that willed the Mets to a heroic win is none other than the lead singer of the official rap group of Y2K.

The group: Team Facelift.

His name: The Fat Jew.

With such hits as "Sexual Perversions", "New York is Dead", "New York is Hot" and a few other hits not quite kosher enough for the blogosphere, I cannot say enough about this man and the group that he is a part of.

It's ironic in fact.

I am 25 years old and a few weeks and today was the first day that I ever DROVE to work. For those who know me, you would know that I am not much of a driver nor much of a worker. Put two and two together and there you have it.

So there I was driving through the desert highway. It was 7:45 a.m. and there was bumper to bumper traffic. I sat there bobbing my head to some Team Facelift. Then I looked over and saw this dude looking at me. I must have looked ridiculous.

I was Michael Bolton from Office Space. I was Jack's menulo oblangata (sp?).

But it was Team Facelift, the Fat Jew aka Jew Diamond Phillips/Jew Piniella/Jewthur Vandross/Jewlysses S. Grant that got me through. They got me in the right place for my first day of work and it made my car ride that much more enjoyable. They also got the Mets a few walks in the 9th.

With Fat Jew we go.
