Mets, Yankees in playoff hunt at same time doesn’t happen too often
NY Post
We are a city of baseball pessimists, let’s be honest. Both the Yankees and the Mets emerged from the All-Star Game with their seasons intact. The Mets are in first place, the Yankees fourth, but within shouting range of the wild card. And yet nobody seems terribly happy.
Yankees fans are cuddled in misery, and look, things aren’t looking great. Mets fans? They do have moments of delight that somehow their team has managed to make it this far still in first place — Sunday will be 71 straight days all alone atop the NL East. But there is also a nagging sense: It should be better. I am generally not one to distribute rose-colored glasses. But this simply doesn’t happen a lot, both teams emerging from the All-Star break with a chance (which I’ll define as: .500 or better). It happens with remarkable infrequency, in fact.

Whenever seasons like the one the Knicks just completed end, I always find myself back outside the visiting locker room at old Mile High Stadium. I always find myself standing with a handful of writers surrounding Bill Parcells maybe half an hour after the Jets lost the AFC Championship game to the Broncos.
