Same As It Ever Was

And you may ask yourself, well..., how did I get here?

All these years we could have been Yankee fans. But instead, we continue to subject ourselves to the torture that is these New York Mets. How did it get to this point?!?

Just when we spoke about the offense un-retiring after an 8-run inning the night before, lo and behold, Bobby Parnell ALLOWED eight runs in the second inning to the Braves en route to a 15-2 shellacking at home. You can't argue with The Talking Heads regarding the play of this team:

Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
SAME AS IT EVER WAS!!!

Pity the poor people who actually had to pay to see it. As the Mets marched out batting practice pitchers Bobby Parnell, Nelson Figueroa, Tim Redding, and Sean Green, the Citi Field faithful had 2 hours and 54 minutes to sit back in their seats, enjoy a nice cold beverage, hopefully maybe catch a foul ball and perhaps start to wonder what they were doing in the ballpark in the first place. Mets management won't say it, but MetsFanClub.com will: we're sorry.

We're sorry you had to endure that. And if there were any justice in the game, you'd all get refunds for this one. But alas... $60 per ticket, $20 to park, $40 per person for food, $190 for a jersey at the Team Store...

And you may say to yourself, My God..., what have I done!?
