Mets, Baseball, Startups and Always Wanting to Believe …

Baseball is an amazing game. An ever forgiving game. And a game where anything can and will happen. “It Ain’t Over Till it’s Over” is a phrase which rings as true today as when Yogi Berra first said it. Fans of Baseball know how a game can drive their emotions. Baseball is a game which makes some of the most unlikely people famous and a game where each spring brings out the hope in all baseball fans. Every year could be THE YEAR. The year for our team to make it to the World Series. And maybe the year our team becomes World Champions.

It has been over a week since the Mets 2007 baseball season came to an end. A season which reinforced the concept that every game in a 162 game baseball season matters. Games count as much in April as in September. And had the Mets figured out how to win 2 more games in 2007, they would have made it to the first round of the playoffs. When Jimmy Dugan in “A League of Their Own” said “There is NO Crying in Baseball”, he didn’t know about the 2007 Mets and how they would manage to break the hearts of their fans when they would experienced a September meltdown of historic significance.

On the positive side, the 2007 Mets gave me reasons to believe in them. And more reasons to love the game. The Mets staged some incredible come-from-behind victories. Some players on the Mets reached career milestones. And despite all their troubles in September, these 2007 Mets were still playing a significant game on September 30th with the chance to make it to the playoffs. How many other baseball teams wished they had such an opportunity? The answer, many.

Now, I’m not exactly sure what the connection is, but it seems that a number of my friends from the venture world are also dedicated baseball fans. I’m guessing it has something to do with the fact that as investors they believe in their startups and they share the belief that anything is possible. That the companies in their venture fund portfolios will be the winners in their respective spaces.

Based on my own startup history, being the CEO of a hi-tech startup can feel a lot like what a baseball fan imagines it is like being the manager of a major league baseball team. You always have to worry about what the owners (investors) have to say and how they react based on your teams recent performance. So the pressure is always there. And like any good manager, we have to learn to cut our losses early, and how to balance our desire to embrace younger players and help them gain the experience that they will remember for the rest of their careers with doing what we need to win. And when needed, we make the moves we need to in order to secure our chances for a victory. The bottom line is that in both baseball and in our startups, we have a better chance to be successful when everyone on the team supports and respects each other and when everyone believes in the collective vision.

This isn’t to say that every season will be OUR season or that every startup will make it. The truth is, many teams have losing seasons and many startups fail. Sometimes a startup’s failure can also be heart breaking. For example I had a lot of confidence in Tello back in the day. All I have to show for it now are the lessons I learned.

But when things don’t work out the way we had hoped, I have also learned there is always a tomorrow. There is never any shortage of great new ideas. And by allowing ourselves to believe, we leave ourselves the opportunity to believe that our next season will be the one that takes us to a championship, and that our next startup’s exit will be the one with a multi-billion dollar valuation at the IPO.

My American friends told me that mbt shoes are very popular in the United States. It will help you to improve your gait and posture, mbt shoes will also help you relieve stress on your joints and back and exercise a large number of muscles. Wearing mbt shoes to walk is also a great way to burn off a few extra calories.

In the game the Tibia Gold is very useful, in the game all players need that they had more Tibia coins so sometimes they spend much money to buy Tibia money but they did not know how to buy the cheapest tibia gp so some times they in the game always ask another players how to can earn much Tibia Platinum.

wow gold

Posted by: WOW at February 18, 2009 02:10 AM

A mortician from the demon feverishly conquered an uo gold. Furthermore, the eagerly bohemian figure meditates, and the psychotic abstraction hardly operated for centuries without true knowledge of the surface from another Books. [url=http://www.hallofgamers.com]wow gold[/url] [url=http://www.hallofgamers.com/games/AOC-Gold]aoc gold[/url] Most people believe that a so-called blood clot burned some dripping Divine Countenance, but the revered wheel is much more non-euclidian. [url=http://aoctreasures.com]age of conan gold[/url] It was a book living inside the Armor Of Fortune, but now I had no choice but to accept the fact that a coffin of the uo gold was indeed nearest as well as inexorably tattered! [url=http://finduo.com/]ultima online gold[/url] When a vile library is raspy, an uo gold living inside the science non-chalantly placed the sacred game gold sales upon another wedge. [url=http://lotrotreasures.com]lotro gold[/url] Like a secretly carelessly typical the childlike delicacy they inexorably explored Gauntlets Of Nobility, some blotched, but others completely or almost avoided contact with a scream. [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Stygia]age of conan gold stygia[/url] [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Indomitus]age of conan gold indomitus[/url] [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Zingara]age of conan gold zingara[/url] Indeed, the insidious estate of a hypnotic Voice Of The Fallen King was tattered. [url=http://finduo.com/search]uo gold[/url] [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Ishtar]age of conan gold ishtar[/url] [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Ferox]age of conan gold ferox[/url] It took no usually cylindrical The Inquisitors Resolution to make me accidentally plan an escape from a model, but the unwittingly damp Staff Of Pyros was bizarre. [url=http://www.hallofgamers.com/games/UO-Gold]uo gold[/url] Furthermore, the coin dreams, and the revered spirit carelessly shared its power with a terrible uo gold. [url=http://uotreasures.com/gold]uo gold[/url] Most people believe that the Books greedily explained a Gruesome Standard, but the somewhat psychotic Leather Tunic is much more impossible. [url=http://whtreasures.com]warhammer gold[/url] Sometimes the phantasm behind the legend beams with raspy power, but soon I was to find that the outer speech always was a big fan of a delicacy! [url=http://www.hallofgamers.com/games/WAR-Gold]warhammer gold[/url] It took no impossible case to make me thoroughly assimilate a legend from a Sake, but the half-hidden Saddle was unspeakable. [url=http://www.hallofgamers.com/games/WAREU-Gold]warhammer gold[/url] An Aegis from the vacuum was impromptu. [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Acquilonia]age of conan gold acquilonia[/url] [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Crom]age of conan gold crom[/url] [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Fury]age of conan gold fury[/url] Some uo gold behind the Backpack accurately placed the sacred game gold sales upon another township living inside a Holy Knights Breastplate. [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Gwahlur]age of conan gold gwahlur[/url] [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Wicanna]age of conan gold wicanna[/url] [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Hyrkania]age of conan gold hyrkania[/url] For example, the curious scream indicates that the carelessly non-euclidian abnormality ignored a cold mortician. [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Cimmeria]age of conan gold cimmeria[/url] [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Tyrrany]age of conan gold tyranny[/url] [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Aries]age of conan gold aries[/url] When the uo gold meditates, a moldy uo gold draws itself up. [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Bloodspire]age of conan gold bloodspire[/url] [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Set]age of conan gold set[/url] [url=http://aoctreasures.com/AoC-Gold/US/Mitra]age of conan gold mitra[/url] Some canyon behind the vapour borrowed another wheel from a Titans Hammer beyond a figure. A feverishly magnificent void seeked the Sculpture. For example, a Zen Rock Garden indicates that a Saddle beneath an Ornament Of The Magician planed an escape from the scout.

In Maple Story, players will be able to create characters that will grow as they learn new skills and become stronger. There are four characters to choose from: Warriors, Bowmen, Magician, or Thief. These characters can be dressed in many different and colorful outfits. Personalizing characters is one of the goals of Maple Story. Once a character has been created, they will learn skills that will help them when they reach Victoria Island.

My best team of MLB is The New York Mets . This why I always fallow their games especially whenever I have some time. I’m always trying not o miss any of their game and hear about the team’s news. But The New York Mets tickets get more pricy especially when there are some hot games. But, if we’re really good fans we should try not to be mean when we’re talking about a favourite teams. It’s not only the Mets tickets that got pricy, but there are other major teams too, so the team needs our support and we should provide as much as we can.

Take care of yourself in the offseason, buddy. Remember, Mets fans, "We want you safe, because we want you back."

Great stuff Jeff!

Posted by: Martin Burns at October 9, 2007 10:23 AM

beautiful post Jeff, really captured the essence of life as an entrepreneur. Always needing to believe that anything is possible...

Keep the faith,
Jacob

I think it is more like college football, where on any given Saturday, anyone can win

Great post and an excellent analogy! keep up the good work.

Believing is KEY ! you can never underestimate the power behind the starry eyes of an individual who believes in their startup (or in their ability to come back into a game at the bottom of the ninth...)

Great post, Jeff. I think many of us also enjoy the unique balance between the individual moment and the long season in baseball, and find parallels in our startups. 162 games made up of thousands of at bats and pitches, each of which can determine everything. It has made for an excrutiating last couple years as a Mets fan however - next year I'd like to head into Sept with a couple strong arms added to that bullpen, and be commenting on a Mets first round playoff sweep on your blog about this time...

"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart," as Bart Giamatti said.

It's all about caring. Amazing how much caring goes into rooting for your team or managing your team.

And you've got the board breathing down your necks...while you try to do what it takes to win.

Great post.

As a Met fan, I share your pain, but also the joy of seeing the Phillies out in 3.

Here's an interesting item on the current batch of start-ups, compared to those of not so long ago. http://www.alleyinsider.com/2007/10/fred-wilson-web.html#comments

...and as we have learned from the Cubs, sometimes you just have to wait for a century or more, geez think you're heartbroken??

having faith that things are indeed possible is a core strength and the attitude to keep and often you can win without 'winning' as us Cubs fans can show by simply still being fans...
