Clinically Dead
by Greg Prince on 21 September 2010 9:42 pm
From the Department of the Painfully Obvious, the New York Mets have been eliminated from postseason contention following their 5-2 loss to the Florida Marlins. Time of death: 9:38 PM EDT, but really, they’ve been done since Puerto Rico. Record before San Juan: 43-32. Record from San Juan on: 31-45.
Autumnal equinox is tomorrow night. Very windy right now here where I am. Very barren where the Mets are. Late summer has never felt later.

At least it was a meaningful game in September! (I guess to fall short, literally, of that Wilpon goal you’d have to be eliminated in August.)
Somewhere Fred Wilpon thinks, “Did I say ‘meaning-ful‘? Damn, I meant the opposite.”
Oh well. One more season to look back upon when we pick apart everything between 86 and god knows when.

It’s 16 more years, 40 years of wandering in the desert.
