You are a Mets fan and you were thinking the worst. Four batters into the game Steven Matz had allowed a three-run homer to Ryan Zimmerman. Seven innings done and the Mets had two hits.
The outs and innings were ebbing away and with it any lingering good vibrations from opening the season with 11 wins in 12 games. The three-game sweep in Washington earlier this month felt like something yellowed at the edges, as if Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman and Jon Matlack pitched in it.
Were you cursing yet, Mets fans, that somehow you had got sucked in again?
