why do you keep saying 'we' and then 'they?'
are you a mets fan? if so, how do you not know that the mets have only played 2 at citi and they are 1-1? they are playing the third game right now.
I have been more or less following the team from afar in recent years, but started watching back in '62 in my early teen years. Growing up in NJ it was either root for the Skanks, Mutts, or Phils. Since I hate Philly and couldn't stand the Yanks in those days (other than Mantle and Maris), the Mutts it was. I don't live in the area anymore and so don't get daily updates other than when I have time to check the online scores. I saw the story about dropping the inaugural game at the new park but didn't hear right about the second.
As far as varying the diction a bit on the pronouns, I have been around on FR for a long time and thought we were allowed to do that. I mean, I didn't think the grammar Nazis had gotten that anal.
