That's also true - the parallels are there, and hopefully not complete. And guess what, the game isn't over. Tying run at the plate.
Three nights ago at Shea Stadium I saw a grown man wipe his ass behind the right field foul pole. Now I am seeing one of the greatest pitching performances by a Mets pitcher.
JOHAN! JOHAN! JOHAN! I"M SO FUCKIGN AMPED RIGHT NOW HOLY SHIT HE IS THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN EVER. end of story.
I might not even watch large chunks of the Jets game tomorrow. But that is partly due to the Jets being next to unwatchable. Plus, the Saints also play at 1.
I have been watching since the mid-80s. I think it is the best one since that time, particularly due to the circumstances. Maybe one of Seaver's 1-hitters was better, I don't know.
