No, the Mets haven’t “historically sucked.” They got to the World Series in nearly every decade of their existence (the ‘90s are the lone exception, save the current one we’re only midway through), and have two World Series titles. Ask some other franchises if they’d trade places.

Two things:

Why would you blame gun laws? The guy was mentally ill. He, his mother and his counselor/Dr./Priest/Pastor should have the support and freedom to intervene and provide help. This is a heart issue, not an issue about guns.

No one is better than Berman. I mean that literally. If no one was there it would have been infinitely better than Berman doing the play-by-play.

Actually the wave is awesome.

The problem with the wave is th—WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—at it interrupts everything you are trying to focus on and makes it impossible to actuall-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-y follow the game.

I know he comes off as a doof most of the time, but he also seems like a genuine good guy. I’m rooting for him.

I get your point, definitely. Having money and a house makes everything a lot easier! I just think the point that the movie was trying to make was that you can have all of that and still be unhappy. He wasn't sitting around lamenting about material things, he was exclaiming loneliness even though he's surrounded by…

Look yo, like this movie or hate this movie, whatever. But can we please stop acting like having money makes you immune to boredom or loneliness or any other type of problems? It's not true, and it's harmful.
