for everyone

With the Mets collapse occurring gradually over the course of month, I wasn't stunned by the way the season ended. More crushing would be losing a playoff series, or perhaps a situation such as Phillies fans would've endured had the Phillies been eliminated on the last day after their momentous comeback.

I did focus on avoiding media coverage and generally ignoring the situation, and I didn't get really upset until I accidentally noticed the front-cover of the Post on the train. My reaction was "oh gosh, poor Charlie."  While my almost two year-old son, who can slur the word "Mezzz" and recognize "ball" when it's on t.v, is fortunately too young to comprehend what happened, I couldn't help but think of the future misery he's going to face being a Mets fan.

Maybe you should save him the misery and make him a Royals fan so he'll never have any expectations whatsoever.

Of course. Not saying it's not worth it.

That is classic! Where is my neighbor's dad to apologize for taking me to a Jet game when I was 10? Is there a statute of limitations on child abuse?

Don't worry, I constantly apologize to Charlie that he's brought up in a Mets household and assure him when he's old enough, he can choose his own favorite team.
