Rats, I meant to use this post on Friday but then the Uni Watch link distracted me. A good take from Ceetar:
We are that next bridge to the masses of Mets fans. The casual/mainstream fan base is out there, not on Twitter and not blogging, but they’re out there in the world. They’re coworkers, friends, family, the UPS guy, and the girl you buy your coffee from in the morning. They don’t always follow closely. They may not read the papers to stay up to date on the Mets transactions. They don’t get text messages that read “Mets got Johan!” Their number one source of Mets news is you and me.
Many of us that are “Big Mets Fan” have become, by way of our enthusiasm, the go to person to ask about the Mets. That enthusiasm spreads; if we’re excited about the team we start talking about it with the more casual fans. We ask the UPS guy at work if he saw the game, we linger buying our bagel in the morning because the cashier wants to know who was pitching last night.
