Yanks & Mets
Congrats to the Yanks. And please check me into Bellevue where they have a special wing set up for Mets fans. It’s called the, “OMG Not Again Wing.”
This is the season when no lead is large enough; no opposing team bad enough; and no amount of explanation lucid enough. This is the year when the collapse cannot be forgotten. When it cannot be fathomed. When failure is the only option available.
There are all sorts of Mets fans in this wing at Bellevue. Some are muttering, it was almost the greatest comeback in Mets history but we fell one short. This is the season where El Duque shows us for one inning what it takes. But we can’t follow. This is the season when we must submit offerings to the baseball dieties to have mercy on us Mets fans and put us out of our misery.
Throw in the towel. Just stop playing. Forfeit the the last 4 games. Too much psychic pain is being inflicted on us mere mortals.
And place a warning like they have for drug ads, watching this game may cause heart palpitations, headaches, fainting, and overall malaise. If you are taking heart medication, stomach medication… Please see our ad in AARP magazine.
Let the Yanks represent New York in the great games. They deserve it. There just ain’t enough padded cells around for us right now but maybe they’ll supply some in the new Citifield stadium.

Considering that the ‘64 Phillies are the team that have always been considered the all time worst chokers, it will be fitting if they actually bestow that honor upon the Metropolitans…

The thing that’s forgotten is something that galfriend’s teenage son, also a Mets fan, joked to me about: “One requirement of being a Mets fan is good cardiovascular health. The team puts you through too much not to be in good health from the start.” And, ’twas ever thus. These guys have NEVER made it easy, either for themselves or their fans. I’m thinking (okay, hoping) that they make it, even by the proverbial skin o’ their teeth. The problem there, however, is what they’ll have left for post-season play, and the nail-biting starts all over again. Given the season That Other Team In The Bronx has had up until relatively recently, being a Yankees fan hasn’t been a big thrill, either, I’d bet.

I’ve been locked up in here for several weeks now suffering from a recurrent nightmare: Mets ahead by ten runs in the ninth, only to give up eleven homers in a row, one by each successive reliever.
One guy in here just keeps muttering to himself, “Marlins, we can eat the Marlins. Good little fishies.” Another sits in a corner with a glove and his rally cap staring into space. It’s pathetic.
