All Forms of Electronic Communication Obviously Broken
No one's watching Met games these days. But talk about a bad Saturday night! On a sadistic level, I went to check the final score of the Mets game against the Houston Astros on my iphone, and my crazy phone displayed a 10-3 final in the Mets favor! The Mets? 10 runs? No way! I obviously have a malfunctioning iphone. Now I have to contact Apple to fix it.
Then, tuning into the Sunday ESPN game on my HD TV, I see a scrolling bar telling me the Mets beat the Astros again by a 8-3 margin. I don't believe it! Something must be wrong with my TV too! Plus, I heard the same thing on ESPN radio in my car! Now I have to get the radio fixed as well as every TV I own, all of which told me the same final scores!
Perhaps I'll get the real scores from my computer, I thought. And now my computer's busted because it's telling me those finals were actually correct. No way. Something must be wrong with my internet connection. Could there be any other possible explanation?
When I called ESPN directly to report the errors in the Mets scores, a representative told me that indeed, the Mets had took two games from the pesky Astros. Great - looks like my land-line's out of order too!
I guess I can call the Mets directly, but I'm sure I'll get the same song and dance. It's like asking a real estate agent if you should buy real estate. Yeah, sure... David Wright actually hit a homerun in Saturday night's 10-3 victory?... what was I, born yesterday!?! The Mets playing 2 consecutive error-free games? Get real! Winning a series on the road for the first time in 2 months? How dumb do you think I am!?
The only possible explanation is that every electronic device I own is broken and the whole world is in on the conspiracy to incorrectly inform us all of improbable scores in order to deflect attention to the fact that this pathetic organization hasn't fired Tony Bernazard yet.
What's next? That this team has any possible shot at beating the Rockies up next at Citi? Once my electronic equipment all gets repaired, I'm sure we'll go back to hearing more believeable results: such as Friday night's 5-4 loss with pitcher Mike Hampton going deep on Johan.
