Liz Merry, the provocative half of the Northern California comedy troupe Merry and Standish, has been a Mets fan her entire life. Merry and Standish combine political satire, parody songs, stand-up, topical sketches, costumes and props, sound effects, video bits, guest performers, local spoofery, and whatever else seems funny at the time. (Dear Merry: Since the Mets inglorious collapse, nothing seems funny to us anymore. Not even Chad Pennington. Do you know of any 'magical' cures?)
