Sad news to report: The star player for the New York Mets, who appears to be in need, received a sack message with tears streaming from his eyes.
Chip, chip, chip. Every week, I feel like the New York Mets are chipping away at my soul. This is a blown lead, chip. A chip dropped from the pop-up there. losing handily to a completely unimpressive opponent at home… Perhaps you are familiar with the story of Prometheus being shackled to a rock and having his liver torn out by an eagle every day. I understand.
This was meant to be the start of a golden age for the Mets. Last year, the team finished with 101 wins (although faltering towards the end). Steve Cohen, the owner, made enough investments throughout the winter to stay afloat.
The Mets come up with inventive methods to lose that other teams wouldn’t even consider, as well as incredible ways to win that defy the rules of probability. The Mets frequently lose games that they should win, only to bounce back and win games that they should lose.
Gordon adds, “The mental state of your average Mets fan is to be pretty darn sure there’s a miracle brewing and simultaneously certain of humiliating defeat.” He goes on to say that being a Mets fan means you are always on the lookout for anything, usually something terrible but occasionally something extraordinary.
When the Mets defeated the then-dominant team in 1969, it was truly a David and Goliath moment that cemented the team’s history.
