The End Begins and the Random Song of the Day

The only games that have yet to be played are 160, 161 and 162. One more time we waltz with a former teammate, a few former champions and the last place Miami Marlins (Am I rubbing it in too much since we will only finish 2nd to last?........................ Naaaaaaaaaah, I LOVE the fact they crashed and burned after that off-season.)

My eyes will be focused as much as they can on the games without being blinded by the neon-green wall at the Marlins Ballpark. I love Mets baseball, and am sad to see it go, but I know that it won't be too long before the Orange and Blue comes knockin' on my door once more.

'Twill be an interesting off-season to say the least.

But until then...

Still some baseball to be played.

Here's the Random Song of the Day.

LET'S. GO. METS.

A Clinch Unto Itself and the Random Song of the Day

Last night, the Mets not only Dramatically Endured Without Yielding, but also clinched 4th place. Though the Marlins won as well, the Mets are now 6 ahead with 5 to play. Why should any of us celebrate? Well, it is always nice to see the Marlins be less than us, especially in their newly-formed incarnate.  But back last November, at a job I used to have, a Yankee Fan co-worker who I talked baseball and movies with was egging me on that the Marlins were gonna get Reyes and that the Mets were gonna sit in last place. 

"I still think something can be worked out. But even if the Marlins got Reyes, they'd still be worse than the Mets."

"Dude, THERE'S NO WAY!!! With all the moves they're making?!"

"I'm telling you man, you'd be surprised how good the Mets will be."

"I will bet you right now that the Marlins will be better than the Mets."

"Alright, sure. How much?"

"5,000 dollars."

"What?! That's outlandish."

"Alright. $100."

"Hundy. Sure."

And we shook.

Then, one day, Jose Reyes Grew Fins.

And one day, the Mets finished better than the Marlins.

And I was right. You'd be surprised how well the Mets can play.

And you would be surprised by how awful they can look as well, going deeper and deeper, game after game, than you ever thought they could go after seeing how deep they had already gone since 1962.

But alas, my prophecy has come true.

The money sure doesn't matter (well, yeah it does, but still). What matters is that the Mets were better in record than the Marlins. And it would have been a shame had they dropped that as well, because THEY WERE better than the Marlins in every facet of the game.

And I look forward to that being the case in the future.
