That bad?

That bad. *clutches dramatically at heart*

Sorry Zippy.

Well, thanks for the sympathy, sweetheart.

How are things?

I'm walkin' and talkin' and livin' and breathin'. How's about you?

I'm alright.

Are you alright? I'd know as well as anyone that the situation is REALLY dire when the Yiddish comes into play.

Oh, Gene-- can I call ya Gene, or should it be Mr. Siskel?-- it's a real shtuken nisht in harts, a stab in my heart.

Loss after loss and now the bosses fire the manager with all the forthright grace of tossing out a rotting skunk on garbage day. What's a fan to do?

*raises visible brow* Mets?

Yeah, yeah, the Mets-- you don't gotta say it in that tone of disgust. [Zippy? Projecting? Never!]

You know, the baseball team. One-two-three strikes you're out? Home runs? Hot dogs? ~~Keying Yankees' fans' cars in the parking lot?~~

I can't watch any more.

I swear they're gonna give me a heart attack. One more loss, and boom! That's all she wrote for Zippy Levine.

You know it's bad when Dad throws his collar.

G-d grants us this as a test of our faith, you realize.

So your whole family's Mets fans? I knew there was a reason I liked you!

Well, not Mom...

There's always one fly in the ointment.

She's not the sports type at all.

Well, it could be worse; she could be a Yankees fan.

I don't think we even let them join the church.

...
....okay, I might have to convert.

Then who would be my Jewish mother?

Motherhood, shmotherhood-- this is baseball at stake, kiddo.

Do you think God's a Mets fan?

If He was, we would have to be doing better than this.

...although considering how us Chosen People of Israel have fared over the centuries, maybe there's a corollary.

The Mets: G-d's "special" team.

I've always thought He'd be the type to root for the underdog. The Yankees? So made a deal with the Devil.

Yeah, and his name is Steinbrenner.

Isn't he Jewish?

You wash your mouth out with soap. And no, he's not.

I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.

He is in fact one of you guys. Christian, that is. I dunno about Episcopalian.

I was just guessing with the name...my bad?

Yeah, yeah, you apologized already. Forgeddaboutit.

Hmm, what?
