Liz – Fan Of Champions

Liz decided after the Mets had played over 150 games this year that they had played well enough and had already won enough games for her to declare herself a fan.

This, of course, did not sit well with many Mets fans who have suffered through many lean years and feel they've earned their place as a fan. When I first heard the declaration, I felt exactly that way.

But there are some undeniable facts that must be considered. In the 15 years since the last Mets World Series appearance, I have been a fan for every single game, and not one world championship. That's 2430 regular season games.

Liz, on the other hand, had been a fan for exactly 30 hours and precisely one game and the Mets are National League East Champions. So what am I doing wrong? Liz, I don't care if you jumped on the bandwagon as long as they continue to win, but if they start losing, I'm sorry to say, you're out!
