As All Things Do, This Too Shall Pass
I want all the readers to do one thing tonight. Forget about this game today. Just forget about it. Don't use it as a reason to get in a fight. Don't use it as a reason to get sloppy drunk. Don't use it as a reason to hammer your girlfriend in an overly aggressive manner. Just forget about it.
Tomorrow the Mets and Yankees will play again. On Friday the Yankees blew a 4-run lead. Today we blew a 4-run lead. I won't say it's entirely the same, but try and think of it that way.
And try to remember how good Tom Glavine has been all year. If you weren't going to have Pedro going the next day after a game like this, you'd sure as hell want Glavine.
In the end, we decide how heavily this loss will weigh on us. The decision is ours, not the Yankees', not their fans'. Ours.
And you know what? It's just one loss. Today is just one day. Tomorrow we wake and the season begins again.
- A.F.O.M.G.

let's hope wagner's wildness isn't due to injury... that would be bad bad bad.
"baseball is a game of redeeming features" is what bob murphy used to say. tommy is getting the ball tomorrow, and this ship will not long founder on the rocks of today's agonizing defeat.
thank you for that post, fart. we all need to put this one away, and think of tomorrow's renewal.
If this team has half the resilience of A.F.O.M.G and Lister, all will be well. Tomorrow we'll learn a little more about the 2006 Mets.
Winning the pennant isn't supposed to be easy. Just remember that, guys. We'll be ok.
Hopefully this can be a live and learn moment -- they didn't need to bring Wagner in and they shouldn't have.
One quibble: the comment about "girlfriends"? Huh? Some of us are girlfriends. Girlfriends with boyfriends to be precise.
Go Mets!
