Exhale ?

Not quite, but at least last night allowed me to place both feet back on the ledge.
A Mets win coupled with a Phillies' loss bumped the lead back up to 2 1/2. Who woulda thunk a week ago that i would be here today all jazzed about our lead being 2 1/2 ? Criminy !! But I will take it.
Now we just need to squish the Fish, and hope that the Nationals take some of the wind out of the Phillies' sails.

Whew, a 2 1/2 game lead! Whew?

Alright, the Mets WILL win the division, even though, still, in 3 just days time with 4 games to go, they could EASILY be in 2nd place and out of the playoffs.

Now, even after the Mets are Eastern Division Champs -- this has been a disappointing season. Face it. Mets started GREAT but since June 1st-ish, they've been nothing more than a .500 team. They'll be lucky to finish with 92 wins. Lame.

That's not calling a World Series win any less important... but a World Series win doesn't wipe away the fact that the Mets played rather shitily for much of the season.

And a World Series win doesn't mean they don't have to look hard as hell in the off-season for some solid pitching while giving the everyday players a swift kick in the ass for slacking.

Frustrating.

zooma- It's disappointing, but if they pull off a Cardinals-esque run, all will be forgiven.
But for sure, changes are due next year.
