...well...there is a lot to say but one word that can sum it all up...disappointing...
...it may have been a little better at least losing in a 1 game playoff, but to not even get to that point...just disappointing...
...the Mets officially have completed one of the worst collapses in baseball history...
...in the last 2 weeks...the Mets offense averaged 6 runs a game...which is great...the bad thing, Mets pitching allowed on average 7 runs a game...that is just inexcusable...and focusing more on today...pathetic tom glavine...the Mets brought you in to pitch in this type of game...a veteran who has been there before and can pitch in the big spot...tom glavine...done after recording only ONE OUT...just pathetic...i think i speak for most Mets fan we won't miss him next season...
...as for the bullpen and other starting pitching...bullpen was awful...no where near in comparison to the 2006 Mets...no lead was safe...and Mota and Schoenweis were nothing more than big overpaid disappointments...starters...el duque was great when healthy, but missed a good chunk of time...can't have that...Maine and Perez pretty much gave you what was expected...they really should be no more than 3-4 starters on a team...they would be amazing if complemented with good 1 and 2 pitchers...but we didn't really have that...pedro was great coming back...i'd like to see one more year out of him...joe smith...never quite understood why he was sent down...would have rather sent mota down...lots of changes need to be made...
...the offense...i am indifferent...moises alou was great...absolutely great...except he only played in 87 games...you can't have that...you need a full-time player...david wright...amazing year...30-30, clutch hits, getting on base, good for you and i hope you continue your success and continue to be a true anchor in this mets lineup...beltran, solid year, delgado, not a good year, lo duca, not a good year, castillio, worthy of looking at to be resigned...fits in that 2-hole well...and jose reyes...i don't know what happened to you in the second half...you looked and acted like a completely different person...no energy, not running out plays...your head was somewhere else...i hope you work on whatever it was in the off season and come back ready to go in 2008...
...positve note...the bench was great...gotay, castro anderson all had solid years...milledge looks for the most part ready to be an everyday outfielder...so can't complain too much about the bench...
...basically...and i am speaking for myself...i want to see a couple major moves this off season...the positions that need to be looked at and evaluated are catcher, first base, second base (although resigning castillio would be alright) and the outfield corners, although i think milledge needs to be the every day outfielder or should be traded at this point...not to mention at least one major big time starting pitcher...i'd like to see what we got with pelfrey and humber (his numbers didn't speak well to what he was asked to do for his first major league start, i think we can all agree)...but definitely a big trade or signing is needed...something to get this team over the hump in '08...
...i don't know...i am just in utter disbelief and disappointed in the Mets...they looked so strong at the beginning of this month and just tanked...Mets fans are probably the most depressed, lost, and confused people right now in the world of baseball...the Mets could not get out of their own way in the last 2 weeks of the season...I don't even think the fact that the season is over has truly hit me yet...unreal...
...let me just say this...hats off to the Phillies...you played well the last month and did what you needed to do to make the playoffs...jimmy rollins...i may not like you...but you backed up your talk in the beginning of the year...best of luck...although i can't say i would be upset if you lost in the first round lets be honest...but credit is given to where credit is due...we blew it...and they stepped up...bottom line...
...i am already looking ahead to opening day...as much as it sucks...this season is over and done with and a lot needs to change this off season...if there is clubhouse issues...they better get resolved now...to me...it's already next year...
...lets go Mets in '08...

...this is just a thought and comment from my Dad...
When the Phillies lost in 1964, they won their last two games of the final season and Boston in 1978 won there last game and forced a won game playoff. What is most disappointing with this collapse is that after being given a 2nd chance on Saturday, we didn't even force the one game playoff and go down fighting.
