Their fans are irritating assclowns. Why are these teams so popular with clueless fans?

New York Mets is one of the most efficient teams of MLB. They are not only brilliant performers but also great players. Pelfrey, Wright and Beltran are few of their popular team members who have a large group of fan following. They will be starting the season of 2009 in April against Cincinnati and it is expected that they will emerge as the winner of the season.

Mets has recently acquired the right hander Connor Robertson in order to improve the performance of the team. The young crowds often sport the team’s symbol on their t-shirts. The Mets wallpaper and posters sell like hot cakes and this accounts for the sheer fame and eminence of the team and its players.

This year’s draft included Joshua Bailey, Corey Trivino, Aaron Ness, Travis Harmonic, David Toews, Jyri Niemi, Kirill Petrov, Matt Donovan, David Ullstrom, Kevin Poulin, Matthew Martin, Jared Spurgeon and Justin Dibenedetto. This promising group hails from OHL Windsor, OPJHL Stouffville, Rouseau High, WHL Moose Jaw, Shat. St. Mary’s, WHL Saskatoon, Kazan Russia, USHL Cedar Rapids, SWE-Jr. HV 71 Jr., QMJHL Victoriaville, OHL Sarnia, WHL Spokane and OHL Sarnia. The season ahead may provide an excellent learning experience for them all.

The drafts will get a chance to see the lineup of Islanders do their thing on the ice. Players this season include team forward members Josh Bailey, Sean Bergenheim, Blake Comeau, Mike Comrie, Bill Guerin, Andy Hilbert, Trent Hunter, Tim Jackman, Kurtis McLean, Frans Nielsen, Kyle Okposo, Richard Park, Mike Sillinger, Jon Sim, Jeff Tambellini, Nate Thompson and Dougt Weight. Islander defensemen team players include Chris Campoli, Bruno Gervais, Radek Martinek, Freddy Meyer, Thomas Pock, Mark Streit, Andy Sutton and Brendan Witt. Goalies for the team include Yann Danis, Rick DiPietro, Joey MacDonald and Peter Mannino. Although the lineups look good, more than a couple of players are currently on the injured reserves list including Hunter, Sillinger, Weight, Meyer, Sutton and MacDonald.

Possibly the coaches will have their work cut out for them but it doesn’t look like they’ll have any problem. The coaches and staff working to keep the Rangers in shape include head coach Scott Gordon, assistant coach John Chabot, assistant coach Dan Lacroix, goaltending coach Mike Dunham, goaltending consultant Sudarshan Maharaj, assistant player development specialist Eric Cairns, strength and conditioning coach Chris Schwarz, equipment manager Scott Boggs, assistant equipment manager Richard Krouse, equipment assistant Tom Kitz, head athletic trainer Garrett Timms and assistant athletic trainer Nates Goto.

The Islanders head into break with a win over the Duck 2-1. After break, they round out the month with two more games against the Thrashers and Panthers away and at home respectively. In February the Islanders will host games at home against the Lightning, Kings, Penguins, Hurricanes, Devils and Maple Leafs. February away games will have the Islanders take the ice as visitors in games against the Panthers, Devils, Flyers, Rangers and Penguins. During the month of March, the Islanders will stay on the visitor side for games against the Maple Leafs, Canadiens, Bruins, Blackhaws, Hurricanes, Senators and Red Wings. March home games for the Islanders will be against the Avalanche, Rangers, Devils, Coyotes, Wild and Flyers.

April represents a roundup of the season and the final games that the Islanders will play for the season. Home games for the Islanders are scheduled against the Canadiens, Lightning, Flyers and Bruins, the last of which will be held on Sunday, April 12. Away games in April for the Islanders are planned against the Capitals, Hurricanes, and the Penguins.

So far in the Eastern Conference Atlantic division of the regular season standings, the Islanders are fifth down with 13 wins, 29 losses and 5 OTs. Could be better, could be worse, fortunately the season is still young.

Major Thomas Jones…Welsh Privateer

Namesake of Jones Beach State Park, New York

By Albert Walker

The family of Major Thomas Jones, sometimes styled the chevalier, and of whose descent from a noble Irish family, which intermarried with one from Wales, is supposed to have originated in Merionethshire or Glamorganshire. However that may be, the characteristics of the Welsh race are plenty discernable in almost every member of the family and are very marked in all of those who may have become prominent in any walk of life.

Thomas Jones, who fought at the Battle of the Boyne, Aghrim and at the capitulation of Limerick, served under William III of England and under James II of Ireland, having served as a Major in the army of the dethroned Monarch, which had formerly been from England, but of Welsh extraction, had long been seated in the north of Ireland.

Major Jones was born about 1665. In 1692, Major Jones was t the island of Jamaica at the time of the great earthquake of July 7th, being engaged in one of the numerous expeditions under the “Letter of Marque,” which so many of the English and Irish officers of James II sought service after the defeat at the Battle of the Boyne. In that same year Major Jones arrived in Warwick, Rhode Island and at this place met and married Freelove Townsend, the daughter of Thomas Townsend. Freelove was born Dec. 29, 1674. Thomas Townsend was the son of John Townsend, a prominent Quaker, who came to New Amsterdam early in the 17th century about 1635., from Norwich, England. The family were of great antiquity, their lands being granted them from William the Conqueror.

Thomas Townsend, the father of Freelove Townsend, gave to Thomas Jones and his bride a large tract of Land which had formerly belonged to the Massapequa Indians, on the south side of Long Island. To this vast estate Major Jones and his wife removed in 1696, where he built a substantial brick house at the head of the creek.

In 1702, Lord Cornbury, Governor of New York, commissioned Major Jones Captain of the Militia in Queens County, New York on Oct. 20; in that same year on Oct. 14, 1704, he was appointed High Sheriff of Queens, and on April 3, 1706 he was appointed Major of the Queens County Regiment.

Governor Hunter, of the Province of New York appointed him Ranger General of the island of Nassau (Long Island),which gave to him the monopoly of the whale and other fisheries from the north to the south shore of Long Island. This commission was dated Sept. 4, 1710.

Major Jones died Dec. 13, 1713, and was buried in a small grave yard on the banks of the then called brick House Creek, now called Massapequa Creek. The issue of Major Jones and his wife Freelove was 7 children. A brown headstone marked the spot on which the following inscription written by himself, “Here Lyes Interd The Body of Major Thomas Jones, Who Came From Straubane, In he Kingdom of Ireland, Settled Here and Died December, 1713.”

From Distant Lands To This Wild Waste He Came

This Seat He Choose, And Here He Fixed His Name

Long May His Sons This Peace Full Spot Injoy

And No Ill Fate his Offspring Here Annoy.

For many years after his death many fictions existed about Thomas Jones. The exercise of his commission to sail as a Privateer under “Letters of Marque,” from the French ports, leading to the slander that he was a pirate. These myths were cherished for over a century after his death through ignorance and superstition, and through ignorance and superstition that these fables extended into the middle of the past century and today…

In 1929, the large tract of land given to Thomas Jones and his wife Freelove , along with subsequent purchases by Major Jones, officially became Jones Beach State Park, as part of the New York State Park System through the dedication from Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the nautical vision of Robert Moses.

Sebastian asked:


The NYR have had a great increase in their performance since Coach Tort came over. I think he has done a great job, and his aggressive style of play is great, while you got the best goaltender on the other side. The Rangers will probably make the playoffs this year, but what about next year? I think they have a bright future.
