Not Again

There comes a point where watching your team stops being fun and I think Mets fans have found that point the last 2 weeks.

To be 4 games back in both standings after fighting back from early season woes, turmoil and injuries would've been perfectly fine and a more than acceptable effort from this team. But to climb all the way back, go 3 and a half up with 17 to go (the bastard son of this blog), have that evaporate in exactly 2 minutes, and then commit the exact same sins of last September against the same teams, well, there's a breaking point, isn't there?

Given the way 2006 ended, the horror of last year and now the collapse in progress, you wouldn't blame any of us if we torched Shea Stadium to the groud after Sunday. Actually, come to think of it, here's a brilliant idea: Fans can take home any piece of Shea Stadium they want, so long as they bludgeon any member of the Met bullpen with said item.

Maybe I'm overreacting with 6 games left to play and the Wild Card lead, but is there anything about this team that makes you think they'll hang on? Didn't think so either.
