A Mets Fan Officially Enters an Alternate Universe

Honestly, what the f*&! is going on here? Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not complaining. But who in the world is this team I'm watching??!!! It can't be the Mets. No, the Mets were a bumbling, unemotional group that couldn't fight their way out of paper bag. Once they were down, they were inevitably out. They played bad, dumb, uninspired baseball. Inconsistency was the name of the game. The words "fundamental" and "baseball" were banned from unifying in the Mets clubhouse or dugout. Other telltale signs of the Mets? An old, punchless bench that couldn't look more clueless at the plate. A bullpen that was the antithesis of clutch. Carlos Delgado, by our own admission, dead. Runners is scoring position? Likely to stay there. Small ball? Moving runners over? Please, we couldn't bunt a man into scoring position or drive in a runner from third with a sac fly if the pennant depended on it. That was a month or so ago. Call it...
