Squawker Jon, I’m sorry to see you so blue. You’re bummed that your Mets are nowheresville. And to add insult to injury, you’re stuck seeing the Phillies and the Yankees in the playoffs.
So, since I feel your pain, I want to remind you of a few things you have to be thankful for:
* Johan Santana may not have sniffed the playoffs in the two years since he became a Met, but former Met prospect Carlos Gomez, who was part of the deal, scored the game-winning run in yesterday’s epic Twins-Tigers game. And here, people say that the Mets’ farm system is a mess. They’re wrong. Gomez knew how to touch third base and everything yesterday!
* Jerry Manuel is coming back! And so is Razor Shines! Whoo-hoo!
* Your team is finally honoring its history with memorabilia. Last week they gave Mariano Rivera the pitching rubber that he got his 500th save from, with a touching note attached from Jeff Wilpon and Omar Minaya. Not only was that game against the Mets, but that’s also the same rubber that Francisco Rodriguez used to walk in Mariano with the bases loaded. See, your team is noticing important milestones in its history!
Any other reasons that Met fans should be thankful? Tell us about them!
