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.
Stay strong, KOIE. As an Indians fan, I understand completely. These are the times that try fans’ souls.
If it helps, consider this laugh of the night from Keith: on tonight’s Countdown story about how far Bill O’Reilly is around the bend because he doesn’t “get” how racist it is to express astonishment that a black-owned restaurant can be just as pleasant as a white-owned restaurant, Keith mentioned that Bill is now down to just a couple of news outlets and an individual taking his side on this thing.
That individual? The ever-dependable Stephen A. Smith.
And, as Keith said, “When you’re down to Stephen A. Smith, it’s over.”
The Mets may be down, but they’re not down to Stephen A. Smith. In fact, I don’t even think he is on their bandwagon, if he ever was. So much the better.

A computer friend of mine said recently about the Padres – “Being a Padre fan is like having a heart attack year after year. A very slow heart attack”. Right now that goes for being a Met fan too.It may go for much of baseball’s fans (except maybe Yankee fans). It certainly applies to a large portion of the NL this year.
All I can say is thank goodness Dan is back on Monday. Dan is my prozac.

For the Mets fans it’s been more like a heart attack every inning and especially when a relief pitcher comes in.
We either get loads of hitting and no pitching or good pitching and no hitting, like last night.
We have tickets for Sunday and it’s going to be the most tense game of the season (if we havne’t clinched by then, and I’m not taking anything for granted.)
KOIE, this is EXACTLY like a relationship that is ending but you don’t want it to end. Have faith. Believe.

I’ve been meaning to ask for awhile: how do you get a little avatar icon like Hawaii has? I don’t see it as an option anywhere when I come to your site.
