  The Really Important News
Let us not forget the vital news of the day: The Mets lost! The Mets lost!

As a Yankee fan, I am sorry for Willie Randolph, who has done a great job. But I just couldn't hack much more non-stop Mets coverage...and in a completely immature and indefensible way, I take great pleasure in seeing Mets fans have their hopes savagely crushed.

To lose a game by looking at strike three in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded, two outs, down by two.... That's gotta hurt.

Anyway, it was a terrific game for baseball fans: A pitching duel, some great defense, timely hitting, drama right down to the last pitch.

And next: Go Detroit!

Let's see--immature, indefensible--guess you pretty much nailed it.

A useful exercise for a Yankee fan: compare and contrast the Mets to the Yankees in the playoffs.

Who came ready to play? Recognized the big games? Left it all on the field? Gave their fans a great show?
 
Once your own team is out, it is indeed a pleasure to see the heart-breaking loss of teams you love to hate. No need to set examples as a fair spectator. Once the Yankees were down--for me--then game the Mets. A beautifully tragic 9th inning. Never underestimate the fun of rooting against, once there's nothing left to root for. Good times. Go Tigers.
