They were here a couple of weeks ago.

I just turned around and they're gone.

A musical tribute to the Mets September swoon.

It's the Cardinals who should be singing that song.

Except that the Mets have been assured for a long time that they'll be playing next week. The Cardinals...

Presumably the Mets still know where the 'on' switch is. I don't expect them to play like this next week.

Nothing's slipping or sliding away from the Mets.

Their postseason berth is secure.

When is game 1?

Tuesday or Wednesday. Depends on whether or not the Phillies win the Card.

In fact, the sooner the Phillies clinch or are eliminated, the sooner we'll know the Mets schedule.

The Phillies' tragic number is 5.

I've been looking forward to a vactaion myself.

Yancey - "Nothing's slipping or sliding away from the Mets."

Unless of course you count offensive run production, quality starts, and victories. Their place in the playoffs may be securre, but their advancement certainly isn't. I, personally, would feel much better going into the playoffs if the team would actually start to hit and score a few runs. It wouldn't hurt if Pedro, Glavine, and the rest of the rotation could turn in some strong starting efforts. Hopefully, the Mets can find their "on switch", but their poor play of late is doing nothing to bolster my confidence.

I am sure, as astounded as we feel, that they must be absolutely flummoxed

Can we take some solace on the fact that this is EXACTLY what the 2000 World Champion MFY did the last month of their regular season?

I'm not giving up hope! They'll turn it around!!! (please, please, please)

I'll take that solace perhaps shortly after the Mets pennant is secured and the World Series berth established.
