So I stopped by a local bowling pro shop to pick up a bowling ball that I had some work done on. And there were two guys there, and the TV was tuned to “Mindfreak.” This was mildly surprising since the Mets were playing the Yankees in the Bronx, and had just taken an 8 to 2 lead. Whenever you go into a bowling alley, and either the Mets or the Yankees are playing, a TV is tuned to it (unless the people there are avidly supporters of the other team, and even then they might tune in just to see if the NY team they don’t like is losing.) If the Mets are playing the Yankees, then it’s pretty much a given that it’ll be on. And I said, “You guys aren’t watching the game?” ( Note that I didn’t have to clarify which game I was referring to.)
And one of the guys said, “Nah. They’re losing 8 to 2.”
And the other guy, who clearly wasn’t in charge of the TV but was grinning nonetheless said, “No. They’re WINNING 8 to 2.”
Like I said, Mets/Yankees fans in microcosm.
