The Mets lead 13-3 in the seventh and Base10 is going to ignore the game now on the assumption that no team, not even the worst squad ever fielded by the Mets, can blow a ten run lead with two innings left.

(If Base10 is wrong, he would not want to watch the rest of the game anyway).

Beware hubris, Mets fans. Yes it is great to be six games above five hundred, but it is early in the year. Base10 things nothing can put the jinx on a season more than fans that think their team is unbeatable. If we assume todayu's game is a win (and I will switch from baseball to bass fishing if it is not), we have only played eight games. This is less than 5% of the regular season. Be happy. Be joyful. But especially be grateful. And remember these times later in the season when the race will undoubtedly tighten up.
