Something Seems Familiar …
Dan at LoneStar Mets hit the nail on the head with the Mets’ recent plunge into the depths of loserville: it’s like the movie Groundhog Day
, where Bill Murray can’t escape the worst day of his life — every morning he wakes up and the awfulness begins again. There are two key issues of this entrapment: first, he knows the minute he wakes up that the day is going to be absolutely terrible — filled with bad luck, poor timing, and other uncontrollable events that make the day miserable; and second, he has no clue how to remove himself from this evil cycle.
Sound familiar?
SiddFinch at HotFoot has a similar theme: a fill-out form template for the Mets game recap. We should go one better and create a MadLibs page.
Meantime, Greg at Faith and Fear in Flushing has pulled a Howard Beale — he’s numb as hell and not blogging this anymore. I must say I’m getting close myself.
Somehow, this day off doesn’t make anything better. The fact that there won’t be a loss today is comforting, but 24 hours without a chance to change things only gives us more time to magnify the situation.
