i don't care if i never get back
They say there's no crying in baseball, but I cried through the tribute to Jose Fernandez (even the Mets TV broadcast team cried) - that was the most mournful version of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" I've ever heard - and again when Dee Gordon hit that home run. I feel like they could have called the game for the Marlins then and I'd have been all right with it. I don't know how those guys managed to play nine innings. Otoh, I totally understand the need to have something to do instead of just dwelling on what you've lost, so I guess that's how they did it. I'd like the Mets to not lose the next couple to the Marlins, but I also can't really feel the same intensity about it as I would against another team at this point. I thought this was a lovely take on the situation.
In better news, I have Crooked Kingdom in my hot little hands, and now I am desperate to read it so I can finish writing my yuletide letter. *snerk* I guess there'll be more on that tomorrow in the Wednesday book post.
