One last thing...

An aquaintance, after telling me they were a HUGE Mets and Yankees fan, proceeded to ask me what time Game 3 was on yesterday.

In just how many ways does this not compute? I lump this person with the newly minted Cubs fans, who feign weeping now that the Cubs are out of the playoffs. Sad for you, but I was weeping/soaring with this team in MAY. And many Mays-Septembers previous.
