On the bright side...

On the bright side... ...I can celebrate my 20th wedding anniversary in two weeks without sneaking off to check on the score of a playoff game. ...I won't be spending lots of money on horribly over-priced division champs caps, t-shirts, DVDs. ...I don't live in the homeland, so I don't have to deal with the Yankee hacks in my face everywhere I look. And I would trade it all for 8 more runs today.

One the bright side... ...I get to be able to breathe again.

...I just saved $244 on NLDS tickets. ...I'll save money on championship T-shirts and memorabilia. ...When my wife wants to watch a show with me, I won't have to say "after the game." ...My wife said that she might take my mind off the Mets later. ...The guy ahead of me in my fantasy league had Glavine (4th place). Glavine's 189 ERA from today allows me to finish tied for 4th (and in the money). ...(and best of all) We will never have to see this Mets team again.

The only bright side I can think of is that there will be no chance of a gut-wrenching post season series loss to deal with. That's about it.

Well it WAS historic.

Mr. Zero wrote: Well it WAS historic. Not in a good way. Much prefer to lose a to the end duel of two teams with 95+ wins, exchanging the lead a few times during the final month of the season.

... I don't have to worry about hard drive space on my TiVo.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 30 2007 06:30 PM

Yeah! I was thinking the same thing!

...I don't have to worry about stopping at Modells to overpay for a locker room cap tomorrow on my way to class Monday night. ...I don't have to worry about missing a Met game while I'm in Atlanta in mid-October.

I get to finish my son's room without starting and stopping because of the Mets, I just finished painting today and finished a cabinet right now.

... I have more time to clean the scuff marks on the kitchen floor caused by my 9-year old working on her tap dancing.

Similar to Mets Guy in Michigan. My 20th anniversary is Wednesday and we're going away next weekend (Friday through Monday) and staying at a b-and-b and the whole time I was worried how I was going to sneak off to see the game. Marriage saved.

I would say that I saved on car insurance but that would remind me of the "a quick 15-minute call...." radio spot and that would make me sad.

...I don't have to write up long KTE postseason threads and then act like a little bitch when I think no one apprecates my work.

Steve, that was actually funny. Well done.
