Kevin James' Mets Fever

"I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" star Kevin James really loves himself some baseball.

The King of Queens is such a diehard Mets fan that he named his second daughter after the Mets longtime home, Shea Stadium. "I honestly...honestly did. I have been a Mets fan my whole life and have such good memories of going to Shea Stadium," he told Chris Yandek of TheSportsInterview.com "Her middle name is Joelle after my dad Joe who passed away. I brought it in because he used to take me to Shea all the time. I can't believe this got by my wife. She ended up liking the name just for the name itself."

James jokes that his daughter's name will have to change when the stadium name changes. "I am excited and a little upset I am going to have to change it to Citi Park, her name, when they change the stadium over."

18. Baseball is such a lame sport and business to say the least. Since they cancelled their world Series, their statement to the fans are we all all about money and we don't give a rats ass about you other than we want your money. Let the athletes do steroids, we just want your money. Screw tradition, home run records etc, we just want your money. Kevin James names his child after a lame sport like baseball. That's kind of pathetic to me. Putting a pathetic sport like baseball ahead of what should be the most important thing in your life, your children. That's the definition of a "Loser", even worse, a baseball loser.

21. So her name is Shea Joel James? Thats a tough one to spit out!

22. #21.... her last name probably isn't James considering Kevin was born Kevin George Knipfing. That makes it even worse.

23. That show of his is almost as bad as "Everybody Loves Raymond". Not funny, even when I'm drunk or stoned. Bad writing, bad acting, bad all around. Never could understand the appeal.

Now on the other hand, "the Munsters" or b/w "Andy Griffith Show" are hysterical, well written sitcoms, with interesting characters, great acting, good stories, etc...

26. Love Kevin James. King of Queens and Jerry Stiller are hysterical. Who cares about Kevin's weight?

27. I absolutely LOVE Kevin James!! So what if he's a little heavy? I see beautiful women with "heavier" men all the time. It's more fun to be with someone that you can have a conversation with, than one who is obsessed with looking at himself in the mirror every second of everyday.

28. His daughter's middle name is "Joelle," not "Joel."

And to the haters, Kevin James is attractive, regardless of his size.

29. To the boys commenting on the hot girls with the average Joe's: Women are like floor tiles: if you lay them right the first time, you can walk all over them for the rest of your life.

If a women has to choose between a man who can provide her with a Escalade or a man who has a Ford Pinto, with all things being equal, she will indeed choose the Escalade guy.

But if a guy swings a big stick and knows how to use it, he can be as fugly as a alley cat and get the girl. And....if he just happens to drive an Escalade..double bonus. If a woman, just like a man, aint' gettin' take care of in lovin' department, she aint sticking around unless she has alot of batteries in the house.

Point is, the pretty boy or the rich one doesnt always get the girl. But, if you know how to just make a good living, know how to not let her emotionally control you and...know how to give good lovin'....how he looks can be pretty far down the list.

She wants a man that she cant push around, one that can pay the rent and buy her dinner and knows what to do when the lights dim down.

You boys are not even letting yourself have a chance before the game even begins.

30. Has it ever come across to anyone that, woman make their own money now. We don't need a man's money to take care of us. One does fall in love with who they do. Love is not only color blind, money blind but also not shallow about looks. Now in Donald Trumps case, to me that is all about the money. Nothing attractive about him but his wallet. And even his wallet would not attract me. "What's in your wallet". That guy who does the "Capital One" commericals is more attractive than "The Tramp I mean Trump".
