Da Mutts Unravel
As you may have noticed, I’ve withheld posting on the worst late-season collapse in modern baseball, hoping against hope that the Mutts could pull out of this tailspin. It is not to be. Tonight, they handed me a fine birthday present: they lost to the Cards, the Phils beat Atlanta, and the NL East is all knotted up with three games to play. Frankly, I don’t see the Mets winning another game this season, and I see Philly taking at least two out of the three. So, as I see it now, Philly will take the NL East by two games, and the Mets will not – will NOT – make the playoffs. This is, of course, a disaster of monumental proportions, sports-wise (perspective is necessary at times like these), and Willie Randolph and Omar are probably gonzo. It’s for the best. With the raw talent on the Mets bench, nothing like this should be happening. Of course, it all comes down to pitching. I was complaining to anyone who would listen all season about middle relief, and the collapse came to fruition there.
I suspect I won’t have much Mets blogging to worry about come Saturday. This one’s over.
when its over, its over, until then, my brother, please, keep the positive vibe alive…don’t think about it, just do it, if it all goes to shit,, I’m riding the colorado rockie horse to the finish line.. they are hot!
