Good morning Mets fans,
October baseball has finally come to Citi Field. When I went in the closet this morning I saw the heavy Mets jacket I bought back when the 2010 Mets looked snazzy (June or so) with the hope I’d be complaining about how cold and windy the Promenade is in mid-October. For now, my jacket stays in the closet never-worn.
I don’t have much to say about the team this morning. It’s straight to Playoffs Outsider:
Since someone has to win the NL, I have to root for somebody. I can’t just sit there passively watching. (In truth I probably wont watch the NL games at all, preferring to watch my DVR like I did last night – how bad has The Office gotten?)
I’m intrigued by the team of my ancestors, the Formerly New York Giants. Deep down I think I hope they someday return. I don’t know much about the current crop, but they have managed to work black and orange into a nice looking uniform. (Hint, blue and black don’t mix.)
The problem is I am a capitalist who makes a lot of money from Phillies fans. I have a plan, and I sell every game on Stubhub which helps fund my Mets tickets.
Last years Phillies run really filled the coffers – and a Yankees-Phillies World Series is financially appealing. Yeah I know what you’re thinking.
On the AL side, I’m anti-Rangers because of the Mazzilli thing from yesterday. I like what my former SS does in Minny, but I will root for the Yankees. Im more familiar with their soap opera, I am a New Yorker, I also have capitalist motivations, and 28, 29 what’s the difference! The Mets would have to win 25 straight championships to catch up, so with over 100 years to go before the Mets could realistically even get near, why worry? Go win 29 so there’s something to talk about.
