Shrinks Tell Mets Fan Not to Worry

2008_09_metscouch.jpgThe Daily News puts Mr. Met on the psychologist's couch and tells fans to relax and just enjoy the game--and banish thoughts of last year's collapse! One sports psychologist says, "You don't want to engage in catastrophic thinking, it's not fruitful." And a psychiatrist does admit Mets are generally worry-warts, "Their depression is superimposed on their baseline dysphoria." Well, tell that to the NY Sun's Tim Marchman, who writes, "Sometimes, things are as bad as they seem to be. Sometimes, they're worse. For most of this season, the Mets' bullpen has been the former; for three weeks now, it's been the latter."

The Wilpons are already lobbying for a federal bail-out if the Mets collapse.

That illustration is awesome.

The poor fellow just realized that he's the lamest, least imaginative mascot in all of baseball. His therapy bill is going to be huge.

#3 c'mon - mr met isnt lame... Dinger is lame of the Rockies - oh and so is the phillie phanatic.

how about a cage fight to see who wins? mr met hand down. unless he needs middle relief... then he's screwed.

I am a Mets fan but sports teams are not my life. People getting depressed over the issue sickens my stomach.
