I'm just trying to savor the Mets achievements so far. We'll do what we can at home, but it's been a great and exciting season.

Get it.

Imagine being a Seahawks fan. Two trips to the Superbowl in two years--one win and one 'should have won'. Now we have to sit and watch in horror as they get to the 4th quarter and self-destruct every week. *sigh*

So very painful aubreyc October 29 2015, 21:56:44 UTC

I shall commiserate with you! Those fourth quarter crumbles have been KILLING me. I never want any other Washington teams to "Coug It" ever again.

I want to think we're getting our act together now, but it sure has been a painful year.

Imagine following the Mariners! Imagine being a Mariner fan who went to games when they lost 98 in a year in the Kingdome, the worst baseball facility possibly ever that you have to pretend Isn't So Bad but hopping christ on a pogo stick you know it is. And, and, and World Series what even IS that because WE DON'T KNOW.

Seahawks fans don't even know the definition of pain.

Thank the gods for the Sounders, that's all I can say.

I'm guessing many Seahawks fans do understand because they are also Mariners fans

I'll be really interested to see how effective T̶h̶e̶o̶n̶ JPP will be with his obvious physical limitation. I for one think it could work. He's coming off a double-digit sack season...how important could those fingers really be?

Re: JPP grrm October 29 2015, 19:27:32 UTC

Depends on what kind of shape he's in.

I just Googled around and saw that Coughlin said JPP looked in "excellent" condition at today's practice. It sounds like he could be back sooner rather than later, for the New England game or even earlier.

I'm not much of a sports fan, but even so, we have a conflict of interests. I'm Kansas City born and raised and its been 30 years since we've won a World Series. It's thus hard not to get at least a little caught up in the excitement of my family and friends, just as it will be hard to avoid the mass disappointment if the Mets turn things around.

It's a zero sum game, alas. And thus, for the time being, we must be enemies. Nothing personal.

The Yankees were down 0-2 to the World Champion Braves in 1996 too and they came back. The Mets have an amazing rotation, so they're certainly not out of it. It'll be interesting to see how Syndergaard approaches the Royals lineup. Game 3 would seem to be a mismatch in terms of the starting pitchers, and Young might not be as effective after pitching in relief in Game 1.
