At least you got to see highlights of Billy Wagner spitting the bit. Made me feel warm and fuzzy when I watched it.

September came early this year, hunh?

kelmac07 · 07-25-2010, 07:56 AM

As we drop another one in the 13th inning...MLB leading 12 last at bat losses for the Mets. Thanks a lot Ollie Perez...for nothing!!

jonumberone · 07-25-2010, 08:40 AM

The last game the Mets won, that wasn't started by Santana, was 7/4. Three whole weeks without a win from any of their other starters. Scary stat right there. 4-12 since then.

And Beltran is hitting a mere .188 with 1 RBI since his return....

Oh, the Humanity. Poor, Poor Mac, watching his Mets die slowly...slipping lower and lower in the standings, clutching to the fading hope of a wildcard slot like a damsel in distress clinging to a slowly fraying rope over a dark abyss...

It's not like they could be like Baltimore, or Pittsburgh...Flame out early so their fans don't have to suffer like this... They cling to life, with the scent of a season saving "Miracle Mets" type rally wafting through the tortured souls of their loyal fans. They make you twist and turn in the wind, agonizing every loss, winning just enough to remain "mathematically" viable as long as they can...then...Poof. They finally set their sights on the off season...promising all kinds of changes for the next go-round. As a San Diego Chargers Fan, I so can empathize with him.

Yet with six games to play against the Phillies, three against the Braves, they have hope... a slim one, but hope that carries them through the beginning of August, then in September, yet more Phillies and Braves games in September, more Marlins, more chances to climb...or fail. Poor Mac's Torment is destined to go on for weeks...if not months.

Fortunately not all Mets fans are committed to state run mental institutions...some are here, in this asylum...here, where they can be comforted by their BOTLs in the form of wee little boxes that come in the mail. Isn't that nice?

I beseech you, high and mighty Yankees fans, You band wagon jumping Phillies Phanatics, You West Coast Dodgers Doodz...and yes, even you heartbroken Red Sox fans... Comfort this tortured soul. Comfort him with the one thing that soothes his agonizing heart...Maduro.

His mindless loyalty to the Mets is second only to the devotion he has to his BOTLs, thus it is up to us to attempt to temper the heart wrenching, soul tearing agony he must endure season after season...week after week, inning after painful inning.

I hereby propose a Kelmac Comfort Crusade, where interested parties set aside 1 single stogie per loss...from this date forward...(They're 50-49 as of today.) That's 99 of some 162 regular season games already played, 63 left to go. the masochistic bastards will probably lose Just enough of them to miss the playoffs. At the end of the regular season, Ship your Central American Hand Made Comfort to our BOTL. If they somehow make the playoffs, then...we will allow Mac to decide where they go...if anywhere.

I know, I know, He's already sMACked me for conspiring against him in public. But Brothers of the Leaf, don't consider this a bomb...call it um...Psychotherapy...call it suicide prevention....call it consolation... And as a side benefit, we can all finally have a reason (albeit a small one) to take interest in the Mets.

I know some may look at this as some sort of massive, coordinated retaliation for all the sMACsause he's spread around...No, BOTLs, it's not like that. It's genuine pity...erm...empathy...for a guy who will surely need it.

Tis a painful thing being a Met fan, more so when you are surrounded by Yankee fans.

This morning walking through the supermarket, and older woman came up to me, and said "Thats a Cubs, are you a Cub fan?" to which I replied, "No, I'm a Met fan, I just was out in Wrigley for the weekend, and picked up the hat"

"You know,The cubs are losing Lou Pinella, he was a yankee, And your mets aren't so well right now"

At this juncture I had two responses lined up:
"Let me guess, you must be a Yankee fan, You probably also root for bad guys in movies, US Steel, and the Soviet Union in the Lake Placid Olympics. Oh and you must love to kick babies."

But I went wit the more reserved
"Must be a Yankee fan, good season you are having" Than ducked my head and walked away.

I think I've come to realize that we will always be a team that people poke fun at. Met fans are crazy loyal, and have taken abuse for ever, I just know that deep down when (if) we do win another World Series, it will be that much sweeter.

Hilarious. I would have gone with the first one. At least you, sir, seem to have some sort of emotional defenses built up, some coping mechanisms that are surely a sign of a healthy mind. As a Chargers fan, (0-1 in the big dance, perennial playoff attendees with 1st and 2nd round losses) I know how necessary the requisite emotional defenses are in rooting for a team forever mired in mediocrity. The added cruelty for METS fans is that you have to contend with the additional hope inspired by the occasional successful venture into the playoffs. Mac, however is bereft of such emotional armor. Each loss, each blown save, each scoreless inning leaves him writhing in pain much akin to a mental burn victim being debrided after a car fire. WE NEED TO HELP THIS TORTURED SOUL. As a fellow mets fan, you understand his torment better than anyone. Bless you.
Which leaves the question, Kind sir....are you with me?

What in the heck did you say??? Did you say MAC is sensitive???? Where did you come up with that?????

kelmac07 · 07-27-2010, 07:09 PM

NO!!!! There is ZERO need for a "Kelmac Comfort Crusade"!!! We Mets fans have LEARNED to live with the agony of defeat. It's just that each year, they find another way to do it. What there is a need for...is for more Mets fan to post in this thread!!

They all already do, Mac. There's just not many left.

And Yes, You need comfort...I know you think you don't...but we can see the pain in your soulful eyes, especially at our herfs at Bailey's, where you are bombarded from the multiple ESPN Flat screens by the ongoing games of your rivals...where they are doing un-metlike things like...Hitting the baseball and stuff. We feel for you...we really do.

Denial is a phase...we understand.
