The 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."
