New York Mets fans know their share of grief. In sports, it’s common for all fans to go through the five stages of it. The difference is someone rush through the five stages quicker than others. A team like the Baltimore Orioles were out of contention on Opening Day. Whichever team loses in the World Series may not get to the final stage until Christmas.
Mets fans have had a slow and steady journey through the five stages. Things looked good in the first two months. After another bad June and poor start to July, I think we were all at least into the second stage.
