The teams I root for have not enjoyed regular and sustained success over the season they play.  The Rangers did surprise in hockey and make a run of sorts but when it comes to football, hoops and baseball not much in the way of success, and you find yourself more rooting for individual players to develop.  So when over the last two weeks through last night I watched my baseball team succeed against Friday's blogger's team and take 3 of four going into this afternoon game against the 2021 World Series champs, I feel something special.  The 2022 version of the New York Mets really appear to be building towards some sort of post-season run (Hope writing 'bout them does not jinx things.).  Alonso, Lindor, Marte.  Scherzer, Diaz, deGrom's return (and start this afternoon at Citi Field).  The wow factor just seems to be there.
