What a Difference One Small Letter Makes
New York fans were electrified yesterday watching perhaps the best debut of an NFL quarterback in years. That's right, Mark Sanchez was almost Brady-esque in leading the Jets to an improbable victory shown to a nationwide audience.
Oh wait... this is METSfanclub.com! - In that case, John Maine returned, pitched 3 innings and took a hard-luck loss after Tobi Stoner blew it for him.
But the real story this weekend was defense. In fact, New York's opponent didn't even score until well over 75% of the game was complete when Dominique Barber scored on a 48-yard fumble recovery for the Texan's only score of the game.
Oh wait... this is METSfanclub.com! - In that case, Philadelphia scored in the first inning of both games, sweeping the Mets in a day-night doubleheader 5-4, and 1-0 respectively.
And talk about a crowd! Despite playing on the road, many in attendance were routing feverishly for their New York squad, with their brand new coach and new-look team playing with the heart of a champion!
Oh wait.. this is METSfanclub.com - In that case, the Mets-Phillies game on ESPN drew the lowest ratings in the history of Sunday night MLB telecasts in a game that not a soul cared about, except maybe to watch the 5-0 Pedro Martinez throw 130 pitches in defeating his ex-team once again. Nah, I much rather have Tim Redding than Pedro, right Omar? Pedro's finished, right?
And talk about huge plays being made by franchise players, both on offense, defense, and special teams!
Oh wait.. this is METSfanclub.com - In that case, David Wright went 1 for 8 in the doubleheader, including 4 strikeouts.
After witnessing only what can be described as an unexpected, electrifying performance by an up-and-coming and likeable team, New York fans have the entire season to remain optimistic of postseason play, perhaps even a Superbowl appearance in the near future.
Oh wait... this is METSfanclub.com - In that case, with yesterday's second loss of the day, the Mets were officially eliminated from the playoffs.
What a difference one small letter makes. If only we could replace the "M" in Mets with the "J" in Jets, maybe Met fans would have something to look forward to.
