My boy Joey La P was at Shea last year when Tom Glavine got waxed and the Mets missed the playoffs. He was back at Shea this weekend–on Friday night and, of course, yesterday. He called to tell me about it from his stoop in Brooklyn. He had just locked himself out of his apartment and his super wasn’t home.
Gotta feel for the Mets fans today.
From Grantland Rice:
When the one Great Scorer comes/To mark against your name/ He writes not whether you won or lost/But how you played the game.
And John Lardner’s response:
Right or wrong is all the same
When baby needs new shoes.
It isn’t how you play the game.
It’s whether you win or lose.
