Okay, so it feels like I said this same thing a few days ago,
but the Mets got swept…again…ouch. But once again it’s not October yet so as
hard as it seems to not expect doom and gloom let’s see how they fair against
the Diamondbacks before we ensue mass panic and call for heads to roll. One positive
is that MATT HARVEY is going to be on the hill tomorrow so that alone is worth
getting pretty pumped about. The Mets are probably hoping to catch some serious
lighting in a bottle in Harvey and a strong outing will probably go a long way
to easing fans about his development being hindered by getting the call to the
show.
So as bad as this stretch of
baseball has been for Mets fans, imagine being a Miami Marlins fan? The amount
of high hopes they had this season is the equivalent of someone giving you a
brand new cute puppy and letting you play with it for a while, and then they
trade your puppy for Phillies tickets (HA!). In the last 2 days they’ve parted
ways with Anibal Sanchez, Omar Infante and Hanley Ramirez (Is Josh Johnson available?)
To go from expected contenders to fire sale in one season is a bit rough, so
maybe being a Mets fan isn’t all that rough this season it can obviously get
worse
So if I would have told my dad that
heading into August that the Pittsburgh Pirates and Baltimore Orioles would be
contenders this season, he would have smacked me and told me that we don’t talk
about 1979 in our household. But I do believe it is time to start sipping the
Kool- Aid and believe that both of the aforementioned teams are going to be in
the hunt until October. As much as I have a distain for Pittsburgh Sports, the
Pirates were those lovable losers of my generation considering that I was 2
years old when they had their last winning season so it’s good for baseball to
see the Bucs playing meaningful ball for once. I guess their fans loyalty
should be rewarded with one magical year. As far as the O’s go I was 7 when
they had their last meaningful season, so it’s also good to see them winning
games in real life instead of my MLB 2k franchise mode , so golf claps for the
Bucs and O’s boys and girls.
Inconclusion, don’t be so depressed
about the Mets “Fade” in the 2nd half because. Well it could be worse;
you could be a Marlins fan. And when you’re
a Marlins fan you trade Matt Dominguez for Carlos lee. Don’t trade Matt
Dominguez for Carlos lee. Enjoy the second half and the influx of young blood
the Mets will be calling upon and there is always the feel good stories to keep
tabs on so here’s to a Fine start from MATT HARVEY tomorrow and LETS GO METS!!!
