Nervous Mets Fans Try To Remain Optimistic After Rough Start To World Series
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- The first two games of the World Series didn't end the way Mets fans would have liked.
As CBS2's Vanessa Murdock reported, just hours before Game 2, fans were still feeling a little blue.
"They should have took it," Gene Planes said, "Feeling mighty low."
"Yea it was rough. Could have gone either way," lifelong Mets fan Tom told 1010 WINS' John Montone.
Mets fans were in mourning after an early morning loss to Kansas City in Game 1 of the World Series.
A hungover Mary Rose said she was up all night hoping for the win, and plans to do it again on Wednesday night.

"Hopefully we'll leave with bigger smiles on our faces tonight," she said.
Most fans did seem convinced that the Mets would take home a 'W' ahead of Wednesday night's game.
"Well, deGrom's going to be the deGrominator, of course," one fan told WCBS 880's Peter Haskell.
Ada Genta said she had a good feeling about Game 2.
"Good for Murphy. That's what I'm rooting for," she said.
Gene Planes said he'll stay up until 4 a.m. to witness a win if he has to.
"Murphy's going to hit a couple of homeruns," he said, "I don't care how late. Those are my boys."
Some fans held onto nervous optimism even as things started to fall apart in the 5th inning of Game 2, hoping for a big comeback.
"These are the Mets, you gotta believe," Jay Francis told CBS2's Tracee Carrasco, "Coming back to New York, we got a whole new series."
In 1969 the Mets lost Game 1 and swept the rest of the series.
In '86 they lost Games 1 and 2, and still came back to win.
