Grace is back after a week off, but there’s not really much new. The Mets have only accumulated a handful of wins in the previous two weeks, and it’s not fun watching so many players we love struggle. She also discusses the retirement of Ángel Hernández and the season-ending injury of Ronald Acuña Jr.
Next, the Mets being terrible has made Grace consider what it means to be a fan of something. It’s kind of a bummer ot root for this team right now, but we still watch and put ourselves through this torture. Why is it so hard to quit this team, and the things we consider ourselves fans of in general?
