As The Days Dwindle Down




so do the Mets. It is hard to win a division title without an effective bullpen ( the stats in today's NY Times were pretty dismal) and becomes even harder when the hitters stop hitting. It is like being on the deck of the Titanic and seeing the iceberg get closer and closer.

No hitting and no pitching means no division title. What a shame--the Wilpons probably blame Jerry Manuel and will deny him a full time managing jog. He's kept this team going far longer than expected, but can't get them to win the title.


My Sister was right: it's the curse of Citifield, or in the alternative, Citifield was really The Mother Ship, and the Benevolent Beings who took pity on the Mets in June have changed their minds. They brought back the old bullpen, and took the alien pitchers back to their home planet.
