One week before the Christian world [defined as: those who neither consume pickled herring nor blow up innocent children in the hopes of hooking up with scores of red-hot virgins in the Afterlife] celebrates Easter Sunday, Met fans have gotten a head start on observing the true, religious aspect of the holiday.
You see, following the "team's" seventh consecutive loss, Met fans the world over find themselves hanging on one, sequoia-sized cross. The problem is, miracles having last occurred during the 10th inning of the famous "Game Six" in 1986, a joint resurrection seems quite unlikely.
As your humble correspondent sees it, the 2011 Mets season is seemingly playing out like a revised version of the original Easter, one in which Satan and Pontius Pilate (the Yankees and Phillies) come out as the winners.
So, in closing, all I can say to my fellow Met fans, swinging from our collective cross, is "Hang in there!"
See you in Hell,
MetWop.
The difference between then and now? In those days Jesus was back up on the hill after 3 days. Today they mollycoddle starting Messiahs, waiting at least 5 days before resurrection.
ReplyDeleteVery well put, Blob! And when they DO get resurrected, instead of ascending into Heaven, they immediately descend into the bowels of Hell, and they drag us along with them.
