I envy those fans who can dispassionately support their teams through thick and thin, never riding the emotional highs and lows of the season!
I love Ohtani -- he kicks ass, he works hard, and through this fan's eye test is a classy player. Hard to compare players across eras, but Ohtani has a strong case for all time GOAT (as an aside, the world record for the 100 meter dash in 1925, Babe's era, was 10.6 seconds -- which would place second today. Among 9th graders. In the state of New Jersey.)
All this being said, I hope he sucks if it helps the Mets. So it's great that he kicked ass against the Reds, and I hope he does it again if he pitches against Philly in a couple of weeks.
But Juan Soto will always suck, unless he brings home a ring for the Mets. In which case, he gets to be Keith Hernandez.
