Today is the first day of the major league baseball all-star break. Oh how I was convinced this was going to be another really really bad year for the mets. In April if anyone told me that my Mets would be 8 games over 500 in second place in the NL I would have been deliriously happy. I honestly do not think the Mets have the talent to play championship baseball. Yet today as the Mets are 8 games over 500 and in second place I find myself dreaming of more. In fact, I am disappointed that the Mets aren't closer to first.
So what is it about sports that make me escape reality where much better than expected is not good enough? I guess it is the same inertia and passion that keeps me rooting for a team no matter where they are in the standings. Being a fan is not logical it is emotional.
I generally prefer to live a logical life. Sports are the exception to that rule. Lets go Mets!
