Mr. Met is on Suicide Watch

Seriously look for Mr. Met jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge

I cannot believe the utter collapse by the New York Mets. They completely fell apart at the seams in the month of September and let the Phillies sneak in to take the division. Who do you put the blame on? I personally think that it is the players without any question. They had a very talented team who most thought could be the representative in the National League. You cannot fire Willie Randolph for this collapse, as many want to fire Ned Yost (I have said it in anger many times in the last two weeks). It was not Randolph's fault that they blew 3+ run leads to Washington and Florida , that is pathetic. I am not one of those whose calling for Yost's head either for the exact same reason. New York needs depth on the bench, and need some big time pitching help, I think there is a guy in Minnesota who could solve their problems. Also maybe Philadelphia just got their shit together at the right time, thats what the Cubs did.

Let me not forget to tip my hat to the Phillies, they had a never say die attitude and now will play whoever wins tonight's game between the Padres and the Rockies. I consider them the favorite of the National League, they are by far the hottest team in September (yes better than those guys in Chicago). By far they have one of the toughest lineups to go through with Utley, Rollins, Burrell, Howard, Rowand. Their pitching is not that great yet all the other teams in the NL do not have much either.
