The Mets are seven games behind the Phillies.Let’s hope it’s not as serious as that. I’ll try to be back as soon as possible and be ready for the final stretch and, hopefully, for the postseason.

It’s never a good time, but having something like this at the end isn’t fun. When these games obviously really matter, you need to be there. The most frustrating thing is that the end is approaching, there are important games and not being able to be there. Hopefully, it won’t be too many.
