This is a realization not a declaration. I am checked out on the 2012 season.
I made it all the way to the end of some of the recent wasted Septembers. I got to see Ollie pitch in extras. I got into watching Duda after Murphy got hurt. Strangely fun times.
This morning while listening to neither sports radio station speak of the Mets I realized that I had moved on without realizing it. I saw one at bat on Friday night – was it Friday that Shoppach – was it Shoppach – anyway someone hit one through the centerfielder at some point. I saw that at bat and only that at bat.
Saturday Howie got an inning while I walked home.
Sunday, nothing.
Howie and Josh got a few innings out of me yesterday but then my iPad ran down and I didn’t care.
The Mets probably play tonight, right? Eh, I am transitioning into fall mode and probably have some things to do. NFL tomorrow and Sunday.
It’s not that I don’t care but well I don’t care. There is no story line gripping me. There’s no individual performance that can change my opinions. Dickey will win 21 or 18 or some other number. I am happy for him. Ike will finish with Kingman numbers. David will be a tale of two halves. Murph and Niese were serviceable but didn’t step up like I hoped. I think I have a handle on Harvey and Tejada. Santana is now my 5th starter in 2013.
Is there anyone else worth caring about? If I forgot someone important it only shows how I got disconnected.
Sorry Mets. It’s me, not you.
