Perhaps, not getting swept by the Phillies is a good sign for the Mets. I know how much potential the Mets have. Look how many batters were left on base last night. They can hit, they can fight til the 14th inning and they can win, when news break out and fans in Philly cheer USA...the Mets win was for NY and this is a day, a moment, a game that everyone will remember because it was on ESPN, the special 8pm night game on Sunday. It was nationally televised and the U.S. saw the Mets win. I know the Mets' winning streak stopped at 6, and they had a 3 game losing streak, but it was cut short by a game that probably didn't matter to anyone but Mets fans that still cared. Between flipping the channels to watch Obama speak and opening my eyes to see if the ball went over the fence or on the ground when the Philthies batted, I felt it in my heart. Any jolt of energy is needed for the Mets to win. I know that yesterday's news are "more important" than baseball or any tv show. But news is just news. We all react differently and nothing has changed for us people at home watching the tv sets. Time will pass and the Royal wedding seemed like it was a few weeks ago. Unless you're personally tied and affected to the death news of a wanted terrorist aka Osama bin Laden, your life has not changed because the world has issues beyond what the media portrays. People speak out their opinions on twitter, fb, blogs, etc. I'm just kinda surprised that people like to complain about raw emotion when they have a different opinion. The world is so diverse and complex. Why is there only one way of thought? There isn't. We all have opinions and no matter how hard it is to understand another person for whatever they believe in, I think disagreements/arguments are inevitable. Like for me, I love my NY Mets. You all may think and feel whatever you want and I'll be the oddball. Why is it in people's nature to manipulate another person to believe the popular belief? I think everyone is entitled to their own view on everything. There's no right/wrong of believing. Respect and understanding is another issue. But I accept that everyone is different. I choose whether or not to agree/disagree. Anyway, I'm getting off topic, but the purpose of my entry tonight was to state that the Mets had a really rocky start this year. But even though they lost to the Philthies 2 of 3 this series, I really feel optimistic that the team is starting to turn a corner. Cuz I believe in them. There are signs of life and I'm right by their side.
