Just hoping spnited and casty see this.

I guess the only thing not surprising here is learning that Joe Klein is a Met fan.

 

Good luck with life, Joe.

 

I made it through only two thick grafs of that masturbatory crap before I gave up.

I've found that self-indulgent columns written by non-sports writers about their romantic love affairs with their favorite but futile sports teams generally suck the big bone (see Will, George). They're like someone telling you about their great fantasy team. No one else gives a shit.

 

god, that was brutal

typical pile of timeworn stories and cliches

 

I guess Primary Colors are orange and blue.

 

Thank you, gingerbread.

Klein is a well-established longtime Mets fan who wrote similar "essays" in his days at New York Magazine... tongue firmly planted in cheek.

The only difference between him and me is he was jilted by the Giants leaving NY and for me it was the Dodgers .. and he's a few years older than me.

 

You'd think a Mets fan would prefer to call themselves Anonymous today.

 

Only difference between Mets fans, Cubs fans and Phillies fans today is the Mets gagged in the regular season while the Cubs and Phils waited for the playoffs to embarrass themselves.
Mets fans are over it already. Cubs and Phils fans will still be whining in December.

 

You beat me to it.

But for these guys, guess it beats writing a real column. Nice work, if you can get it.
No envy -- cash those checks!

But try not to blush . . .

 

And in five years, or 10, no one will remember the Phillies and Cubs lost in the playoffs. People will be talking about the Mets' massive choke job until the end of time/baseball.
