Why, oh why am I a Mets fan?

[Missy1961]

They lost again tonight! 0-5 to start the season.....this is pathetic. I've been a fan since 1972, so I thought I'd seen it all, but I've never seen this.

Well, I guess I've got to look on the bright side.....they've got to win someday, right???

.....they've got to win someday, right???

I sure hope so - it really is tuff being a Mets fan.

I must---I've been doing this to myself too long!

my parents' house was always Yankee territory -- my parents' first date was at a Yankee game.

my ex is a Mets fan. first time I ever set foot in Shea was with my ex.

my daughters started out as Mets fans because of their father...but the dd's have "converted", though. my older dd went to school one day last week in ...get this.. a pink pinstrip jersey with the word "Jeter" on the back and a pink cap with the Yankee logo on her head.

I feel your pain and that's all I can say!

I was a Mets fan from 1972 until 1990.(Very disappointed with upper management). I remember those dog years from the late 70's and early 80's.
I'm sure the Mets will come around soon. They have lots on new guys that might just need time getting used to playing together.
It's only five games, if it's like this 30 games from now then I would start to worry!

I've been a Mets fan since they started. My DH is a Mets fan that grew up in a Yankee house. This has been horrible. They look so good on paper. But I must like misery as we are also NY Ranger fans.

Well, that losing streak is over....they finally won today, 6-1. Pedro Martinez pitches a complete game, Beltran, Floyd & Wright homer in the 8th inning. Let's hope they win tomorrow, Opening Day at Shea.

Missy,
I hope the Mets win again for you tomorrow. I'm pulling for a winning season for Willie Randolph.

OT...Have you seen the Subway commercial with Willie Randolph and Joe Torre. It makes me laugh every time I see it.

I was one, too, during their glory days (I know, short-lived ) -sometime in the mid-80s. Once they started going downhill, I was outta there! Call me fickle.

 

[Missy1961]

What a difference a week makes.....now I remember why! They just won their 5th in a row, Aaron Heilman pitches a complete game 1 hit shut out. I hope they win again tomorrow--I'm going to the game. Pedro Martinez versus Al Leiter. Should be good.
