Game 2 of the doubleheader in Atlanta is almost done, the Mets are losing again, and my Facebook/Twitter feeds are about to implode from the apparent panic that fans seem to be experiencing.
Seriously? Are you all really that distressed or upset? Did you honestly believe the current roster has a legitimate chance to compete? Did you honestly believe that making the switch to Sandy/Terry would bring immediate results? Stop for a moment, take a breath, and realize that these Mets are probably not going to head into a Playoff Chase, come away with a Pennant or a Championship. Celebrate the positives, and take the negatives for what they are. Besides , we should all be glad that we’re not in the position Terry will be in once the game ends, when he has to release some of that frustration he’s walking around with. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near that locker room… Yikes!
FYI: Pedro Beato was pretty awesome tonight. That’s right… positives, people!
Here’s an interesting mantra that might help cut down a little bit of your stress:
“The 2011 New York Mets were not built to win, and they’re playing appropriately. The 2011 Boston Red Sox were built to win, and Beantown has already pressed the big red button”.
Chew on that, or chew on this:

It’s early… um… maybe they’ll turn things around…
Yikes.
And… have you been to Beantown lately?
Our attitudes have much improved.
Well, with an almost identical 5-11 and 5-10 record for the Sox and Mets (respectively), it just depends on the fan. I was speaking more to other fans, not myself, who are freaking out.
You’re right, it’s early. People tend to forget that ;)
