As a New Yorker living in the San Francisco Bay Area, I seldom get to see my favorite baseball team play. I'm OK with that though. It's just one of many crosses I must bear for being a Mets fan. And far from the heaviest cross, I might add. It falls below the indignity of actually following the Mets' travails and that of having to tolerate the inevitable response, "You're a Mets fan?" when I inform others of my predilections. Still, I do like to watch my team on those rare occasions when they show up on local TV, most reliably when they are playing my "local" team, the so-called San Francisco Giants (or more rarely the Oakland A's). So I was looking forward this morning to settling down with the Sunday paper, a cup of coffee, and game 3 of the Giants series against the Mets.
And the game was rained out!!!
I feel I'm entitled to some kind of refund, but I don't know where to request one.
I believe the phrase is: "So, YOU"RE the Mets fan!"
