I am a big fan of Mike Vaccaro’s work (actually if I recall he too acknowledges blogs exist, maybe it’s just Lupica) who has a nice piece today from which I excerpt.
A team should never be upset when their fans are angry. Anger insinuates that people care. Anger hints at fans who still go to bed at night knowing sleep won’t come because they are drowning in the angst of a difficult loss. Anger is a good thing.
Mike is right when he talks about how long ago it has been since 2010 Mets fans care. I’m one of those who checked out on August 20-somethingth. There’s just been nothing to hold my interest.
I was debating doing the podcast tonight and as I type this I decided on no – I can’t talk about the GM/manager thing again. Unless Jerry takes out a knife and goes gangsta there’s no new angle.
The new-new begins tomorrow. At least then we being the road to being interesting again. Today, game 162 of what feels like a 212 game season.
