SLACKISH REACTION: Oh baby the Mets are back! I have my M shirt on and I have canceled my dates at the Chuckle Hut so I can hit some games. The Mets are playing .504 ball and are just 2.5 games out of the Wild Card. Newspapers are writing “Amed Rosario has put it all together!” articles again (Not Linking), comedians are booking appearances on WFAN, @mediagoon is probably buying jerseys left and right and we have Meaningful Games In August for a change. Life is great in Queens.
The Mets are all set to finish the season like 5 games out of the Wild Card at which point we can wonder why we mortgaged the future twice and got an SP we didn’t need
make the Wild Card game and get eliminated in a one game playoff at which point we can wonder if mortgaging the future was worth Wild Card t-shirts
win the World Series!
Robinson Cano’s season might be over and it’s like the 15th story if you search Google News for Mets.

NOT WHAT YOU CAME FOR: I got out oof work and was driving home at 4 and was looking forward to the Mets games. However, and this is the point of this section and was interesting to me that things have changed…I decided I’d rather have WAZE give me traffic reports than listen to Howie. Sure I could have disconnected my phone from my bluetooth and all that but I didn’t. So I drove for an hour doing WAZE and podcasts. Now had MLBAM not ignored me for four seasons about their App I could have listened to the stream but that ship has sailed for me.
Then I got home and watched baseball on the deck before deciding at 9:30 I had had enough baseball for the day. Really three hours is plenty for any sport but I get that they needed to make up the game and it was not played at an absurd time….but for me, I had had enough baseball.
