With my kids in their bouncy seats and my wife on the couch opposite me as I watched the last out all I could muster was "Fucking Mets". It hurts to know that we're good but lack the will to get over that hump. They're like the hot slutty girlfriend that you catch in the closet with your buddy. The closing ceremony was awesome though! So many names and faces that were heros of my childhood. I actually got emotional. I remembered my first game at Shea in the mid-70's. Ken Sanders and John Stearns were the battery. Stearns throws back to the mound and beans Sanders in the head. Priceless! There was one thing about the closing ceremony that bothered me. Seaver is and always will be The Franchise. But throughout the ceremonies, Piazza was 2nd. Retire the guy's number for Christ's sake! Should have been done before the move! Good or bad, they're still Amazing.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('114690','FMC'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('114690','FMC','Somewhere in the back of my mind, I\'ve become conditioned to accepting a gut wrenching loss like yesterday as inevitable.

The closing ceremony was awesome though! So many names and faces that were heros of my childhood. I actually got emotional. I remembered my first game at Shea in the mid-70′s. Ken Sanders and John Stearns were the battery. Stearns throws back to the mound and beans Sanders in the head. Priceless!

There was one thing about the closing ceremony that bothered me. Seaver is and always will be The Franchise. But throughout the ceremonies, Piazza was 2nd. Retire the guy’s number for Christ’s sake! Should have been done before the move!

Good or bad, they’re still Amazing.

That the Mets will lose their magical (maniacal?) grip on me once Shea is gone. Maybe the uniform will be enough to keep me locked in, but for some reason I was watching the game yesterday wondering if this would be it for me and the Mets. I'm too far away to forge and decent memories of Citifield. I always loved returning to Shea because that was where I loved going when I was a kid and a college student and a newly wed. I don't know. Maybe I'll feel better about it by April, but right now I feel like more than 1 game / 1 season has been lost.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('114612','Eagle'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('114612','Eagle','You know what feeling I can\'t shake?
