You can root for the Mets without being convinced of their doom
I went to the All-Star Game, on a whim, in 2006. It really changed how I felt about the game in general. I had a blast, and I can’t wait to get back to another one, or for it to hopefully be at Citi Field in 2013. It was like being at a party devoted to baseball.
Here’s the article I wrote about it, in 2007. Mid-Summer Excitement
“I have to enjoy my game and be the way I am,” Reyes said. “I can’t worry about the other team getting mad because other teams they do that, what we do they do it, too. I don’t care about that. I just care about this team.”
“We don’t care if these other teams get offended,” Beltran said. “We’re going to play the game like that.”
This is what I like to see. My team, enjoying the game, playing the game hard, and winning the game. I don’t care about Philadelphia or Atlanta or anything they have to say. Or any other team for that matter. The Mets should take these quotes, and focus on their own game and not worry so much about the media-fueled drivel that is sent their way.
On a side note, shouldn’t John Maine have beaned Belliard last night?
