I’m not a Royals fan. I don’t even like Lorde. It’s not that I actively dislike Kansas City’s baseball team, just that I view them with sort of a detached indifference. Maybe if I had a thing for fountains? Oh well, whatever. I guess what I’m getting at here is that I didn’t really have a horse in the race.
My compulsive need to root against any team from New York colored my opinions, sure, but this Mets team isn’t nearly as punchable as its neighbor in the Bronx or even the Mike Piazza-led squads from years gone by.
