The document details a personal agreement made by a fan after the New York Mets won a crucial game against the Atlanta Braves, clinching a playoff spot in 2024. It humorously expresses that, despite future potential misfortunes of the team in another game—including poor performances—these should be dismissed in light of the joy from their recent victory. The author affectionately recalls the remarkable turnaround of the team's season and allows for one bad game as an emotional concession to celebrate their success.
"I the undersigned agree after today's baseball game of New York Mets 8 Atlanta Braves 7 at Truist Park, the baseball game that clinched a playoff spot for the 2024 New York Mets and capped a fantastical ride from 'oh and five' to 'OMG,' I will accept, without issuing vociferous complaint, the outcome of exactly ONE future horrible baseball game between the same teams at the same facility."
"Such a future horrible baseball game may include one or all of the following conditions as they pertain to the New York Mets: wretched baserunning; wretched pitchcalling; wretched defensive decisionmaking; wretched defensive execution; wretched lead protection; and wretched collective offensive performance by a string of players attempting to bat in succession late but failing miserably."
"The disgust and anger associated with this ONE future horrible baseball game and all its wretched Met aspects, even if it and they occur on the heels of a three-game sweep inflicted by some baseball team besides the Atlanta Braves and therefore extends a modest losing streak to a skid encompassing something approximating genuine concern, is to be emotionally dismissed in deference to the absolute joy that emanated directly after the events of this date, the Thirtieth of September, this Year of Lindor, Two-Thousand Twenty-Four."
