Cry me a river

There are a lot of sad Yankee fans out there. It kind of breaks your heart, and warms it at the same time. Kind of the same feeling you get when rich people get caught for tax evasion. Sad, but you know they had it coming. The interesting observation here is that you never see Mets fans in such a despondent state. And I don't mean just now. In general. Mets fans aren't sad, they just are. The fact that the Mets are not, have not, will not win the World Series is right in the same column with the fact that you, me, that guy, will not win the lottery. A winning season is just a bonus, a pleasant surprise, like the promotion you never even applied for. Well, maybe not. But this is one of my favorite gross generalizations.
