Three years ago, the Montreal Expos announced they were moving to Washington, D.C., thus ending my lifelong attachment to the only team that ever mattered to me. Since then, I've taken a more holistic approach to following the game, keeping tabs on all 30 teams, searching for interesting story lines and watching whichever games happen to interest me most on a given day. But thinking about this lately, it occurred to me that taking this kind of broad approach means sacrificing a lot of the little details you pick up by spending every day obsessing over one team.
With that in mind, I spent the past week following the New York Mets. I watched every game I could find on MLB Extra Innings, yelled at Tom Glavine and Jose Reyes and Willie Randolph, searched frantically for news about Pedro and Alou and when they might be back, concocted fake trades in my mind that Omar Minaya needs to jump on ASAP … everything short of getting a Mr. Met tattoo.
