quest for october

I thought I felt sick the other day, well I really feel sick now. The Mets are now tied for the division lead with the Phillies.

I need to drink my sorrows away. I invite all Mets fans to join me. All 2 of you that I know. We can sit around and talk about how crappy our bullpen is. Cubs fans -- you are not allowed. You and Whistling Willy.

By Sunday, we will know who is going to the playoffs and who isn't. I am stressed. We have Ollie going today, then the Maine event tomorrow with Tommy G finishing it out on Sunday.

Who knew that a pennant race could be so depressing? I mean -- being tied for the division lead with three games to go should be exciting, right? Well, it's not. Here's hoping we can pull an 06 Cards or an '00 Yanks and have a meltdown in Sept, only to triumph in October.
