“In a week from now, two weeks from now, no one’s going to talk about this” – Pete Alonso
Hi Pete. It’s been two weeks. I’m still talking about it.
I’m talking about how the Mets are SEVEN games out..
I am talking about how some idiots are saying you are “carrying the team” – carrying the team? Where?
Sure you hit some home runs this week, but did they do anything at all to help the team win? They really didn’t. All they did was make the scores look closer.
So your plan of staying calm all is well has magnificently failed. You would need a full week of everything going perfect for the Mets and everything going wrong for the Braves (and the Phillies to also have a lousy week) to see first place again. I’d say that won’t happen, but it just happened for the Braves.
Enjoy today’s game, enjoy the charter flight home (I hope the airports are open) and the Giants will be waiting for you when you get home.
Also enjoy the Curse of the Black Jerseys.
I’m still talking about it. All the people that call me negative every April will now take the rest of the season off, but as always I will still be here, one year older, still waiting for a parade.
