After the Mets Victory

Sitting here on the fabled Lower East Side I watch the electric warriors on my TV screen 7 innings of shut out ball for the Mets But relievers came in and gave up a few runs Victory is sweet But they rarely let a pitcher pitch 9 innings anymore Would have been nice to see Noah Syndegard throw a full game shutout The game has changed over the years Players make great sums of money now And Afro - Americans play alongside their white(and sometimes Jewish or Asian) brothers Been a Mets fan for as long as I can remember As a kid I cried when they lost In '69 and '86 they won all the marbles Hope they make it to the World Series this year The light in my room illuminates the writing notebook I am using I can write down that my team won And hopefully will win tomorrow as well Let's go Mets!
