Calm Yourselves

Well Crud.

As you read this you should be watching or gamecasting what many of you are considering a "must win."

For both the Mets and Red Sox.

I think that's bullshit. This is baseball where you are only as good as your next starter. The whole momentum thing in baseball, I don't really buy it. The Phils could do to the Mets what the Mrlins might do to the Phillies, tomorrow.

Baseball is a lot like the stock market. If you let every single day matter, you're just going to drive yourself nuts.

Yes, these games are important.

I was talking to my buddy from Philly last night and he agreed. The difference between a 2 game lead and a 4 game could be the difference between a race and a "not-race."

As for the Yankees and Red Sox. God, who knows. But with Seattle's most recent meltdown and my dependence on Detroit growing by the hour, every Yankee loss matters. If only Mike Mussina could pitch every day?

But calm your horses. Apparently all the Mets blogs are going crazy, like this is Doomsday. It's not. Baseball is a marathon not a sprint. Today is just another 1 of 30 some odd games to go.

I really do believe that.

Gotta make it brief today. Work beckons. Check back at abour 4:30 ET. It will either be thumbs pleasantly up or thumbs way down.

Vaya,
Sip
