Philadelphia rallied from seven games down on Sept. 12, matching the biggest September comeback in major league history. The Phillies and the Mets went into the last day tied for the division lead.

Well, at least that's ONE New York team out of the playoffs. Maybe someone will give the Yanks another nice first-round exit, then all will be right with the world.
In a PERFECT world, the Cubs will be swept out of Round 1.

Look on the bright side, at least your not SF giants fans. I suffered through the most pathetic season in recent memory. I'm glad it's hockey season again.

Pikers.
I grew up during the dark days of the Cleveland Indians, when they were literally a joke. (Ask Johnny Carson....oh, yeah....nevermind) Try spending ten years hoping that "maybe next year" the team might reach 0.500.
Or having players you traded to get, decide they'd rather retire than play for the Indians. (Yep, it happened.)
Or, having a career starting 2nd baseman who had a total of ONE homer IN HIS CAREER. (And IT hit the top of the wall on the short porch, and luckily bounced the right way.)
Or sending your prospects away to get losers, only to see your prospects go on to be hall of famers...over, and over, and over again.

The Mets didn't choke.. They had no pitching. They started the season with their best pitcher out for almost the entire season. Indeed, Pedro still isn't fully up to speed. They have Perez, who is either very good or very bad. He doesn't handle pressure well anyway. Maine has had concentration issues, but seems to rise to the occasion. Hernandez suffered several injuries and while a very smart pitcher, is showing his age. Glavine has had several really bad outings, showing that he cannot recover well any longer. His effectiveness declined as the season wore on.
After the All-Star break, the Mets pitching staff started showing significant cracks. By September, it was simply broken.
So, in the first half of the season, the weak starting pitching was offset by a decent bullpen. However, the Met's bullpen was already weakened by the loss of Duaner Sanchez at the end of spring training. The balance of the bullpen was overworked all season. By mid September, they were worn out. Even Wagner was having back problems.
Offensively, the Mets are a powerhouse. Pitching-wise, they are in bad shape. Too many older pitchers, who are not able to perform over the long haul or who suffer injuries easier than younger men.
If the Mets are going to turn things around, Omar Minaya is going to have to rebuild the pitching staff. Under-performers must go. Glavine is done anyway, and Hernandez likely will be cut loose too. Mike Pelfrey hasn't lived up his billing and should be traded. Jose Reyez needs a swift kick in the butt to cure his lack of hustle. Shawn Green will be gone too. Someone needs to slap Milledge in the back of the head once a day just to remind him that showboating breeds bad karma.
This epic collapse can be blamed on injuries and ultimately Minaya's failure to shore up the pitching staff in the off-season and again before the trading deadline.
Now, since the Met's decided to one-up the Red Sox, I'll root for the perennial underdog... Go Cubbies!
My regards,

Ity's only a game and doesn't amount to anything. Deal with it.

As a red sox fan, I would have enjoyed a mets/red sox world series, but, haven said that,
after the 86 WS I’d have to say it could have happened to a better team.

We have a lot of practice being the the home of the brave, the land of the free
and the doormat of the National League.

Its a good thing the Cubs don't have to play the Marlins in the playoffs! :D

I still say the final instant of Creation will be bottom of the 9th, tie game, 2 out, runner on 3rd, Cubs vs Red Sox, and a long fly ball to center. Its deep! It might be gone! Center fielder leaps and...
At that instant, God pulls the plug.

As a Great Manager in Britain once said:
“Some people think football (Read Baseball) is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.”

I'm waiting for some N00B Mets fan to start complaining that they were HO'd.
