Bloopers. Not funny per se, but amusing in the following way. For a lifelong Mets fan I can imagine, that at times, you have felt as though the Metropolitans are not only over rated and overpaid but fail to give the requisite effort. As a casual Nats fan, I can tell you that I have been at the stadium when I think, “my mother would have snagged that infield fly”, or “even I know to back off when the center fielder calls it”. Imagine a typical blue-collar baseball fan. One that lives and breathes baseball, whose identity is connected with the success of their baseball team and their millionaire players. Imagine being constantly let down. Imagine drawing a small bit of gratitude (even if just between innings) from watching those from whom you derive so much anxiety embarrass themselves.

Or, just have a couple of beers and watch adult men fall down. Always rousts a chuckle or two.

After all this time, I still enjoy watching Gus Frerotte slam his head into those "padded" walls. A millionaire being an ass... classic.

just some thoughts
