On “The Mets…they will break your heart”:
Judie: It is like love, isn’t it?
You’ve only been a Mets fan for a short time but you are a true fan. We are glad to have you onboard. I have been a Mets fan since 5, that’s 33 years and counting!
Last night was awful but today is a new day. You gotta believe! Let’s go Mets!
Karl: Baseball hurts more for fans than other sports, too. The other seasons (NFL, NBA, NHL) are shorter. Baseball goes for 5-6 months. 7 if you count spring training. You are with your team almost every day for that time. Dysfunctional, maybe, but that’s like most relationships. Nothing is perfect. Love it while you can.
Judie: Crack!
That was the sound of my heart breaking a little bit more last night. Bad game. We almost pulled it out but that doesn’t forgive the poor play. But Never Give Up is right. Was CHurchill a Mets fan?
It feels like a relationship that is slipping away. The relationship hasn’t been perfect, but it’s been pretty good. Yet now it’s slipping away and there’s nothing you can do about it. But still you cling to the slim hope that something will happen to keep it alive.
158 games down, 4 to go. I don’t want it to end. I’m an addict.
This is sick.
Let’s Go Mets.
