Very famous retort when you ask a wiseguy for directions (most likely at the insistence of your better half, since no man actually needs directions!).
Metaphorically speaking though, it can also apply to the plight of my beloved team, the NY Mets, and the club's dismal play as they try to Houdini their way into the playoffs.
Two nights ago - Phillies drop a game to the Braves and the Mets put a big W behind Johan Santana, who may be best pitcher in the NL right now. Then last night came and went. Phillies drop another, Brewers win one, and the Mets, with the opportunity to win with no outs and a man on 3B to start the bottom of the 9th CAN"T PUSH THE WINNING RUN ACROSS!!!!!!!
The result - Mets still 1.5 GB of the Phils, and now tied in the Wild Card hunt with the Brewers.
My level of frustration knows no boundaries at this moment. As Al Davis says, "Just Win Baby". Excuses over. Go out and do the job. Now every game is a MUST WIN SITUATION.
In other news, Hank Steinbrenner (aka Hankenstein, Blathering Hank) has decided that divisional play in baseball is bad and wrong and not fair. Good one, Hank! You are a baseball genius! I will bet Cashman cannot wait to get out from under this big bag of wind.
