Mets fans have the greatest chant in the world. It goes like this.
Let’s Go Mets!
(take a pause. Not a beat. A pause until you sense it is time to do so again.)
Let’s Go Mets!
(repeat)
Last night, some bozos started “Let’s Go Mets, Hoo..Let’s Go Mets, Hoo.” in a 1-2-3-4 beat. Again, we don’t do that, and while the standard LGM is close to being in a 1-2-3-4, real fans know that the pause is just a hair longer than the 1-2-3-4 would be.
One tweeter told me he heard LGMH back in 2006. And it showed up again last night. I wonder what those two crowds had in common that the 2009-July 2015 crowds didn’t. Exactly.
