Only in Queens: Stories from Life as a New York Mets Fan"Only In Queens" begins "The first thing to know about Mets fans is that most of us are insane." From there, it's all downhill.

Why can't they look at Huey Lewis and the News the same way anymore? Is it healthy for Pedro Beato's 18-inning scoreless streak in 2011 to play a major role in their development?
