The Mets As The Wildcard? Could Be!

Like many Met fans, I find myself totally disgusted with the way the Mets are playing right now. They cannot do anything right, or more appropriately, when they do something right, another facet of the game is so poor it more than offsets what they did well. The bats have come alive so either the defense or the pitching goes south, south enough to allow the opposition to score more runs then the Mets put on the board.

After seeing the Mets fall apart in DC following a sweep by the Phillies of the Mets, right now I have serious doubts that the Mets will finish in first place. Gary and Keith were talking on tonight’s broadcast about who would be the wildcard. Keith said he thought it would come out of the West. I am seriously beginning to wonder if the Mets will be the wildcard team.

Truth is, with the way the Mets are playing right now, not only do they not deserve to be in first place, they do not even deserve to get into the postseason as the wildcard team. All I can say is, “GUYS, WAKE UP, START PLAYING BASEBALL. THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR A COMPLETE COLAPSE!!! ARE YOU AROUND SOMEWHERE OR DO YOU JUST NOT CARE?”

What I would like to see right now is for the entire Met team to line up in a circle with each player kicking the person in front of him in the ass! Maybe, just maybe that will wake up this bunch (of course, with the way they have been playing, it probably won’t).

Right now I will still say it, but only half-heartedly,

Let’s Go Mets!
