In fact, I am surprised that they haven't blown all of their chances yet, as after loving 5 of their last 8 it seemed like another collapse was inevitable. The bull pen was doing what they do best, giving up the lead and the offense looked like a bunch of lethargic buffoons. It got to the point that when I would turn on the game I actually expected to see them losing. I feel bad saying that but sometimes you have to learn to expect the worse. After last years collapse, which I wont even go into since ESPN has already beat it to death, once the Mets started to drop game after game this year it just seemed like a repeat of last year.
It's kind of sad when your team is limping into the playoffs and they want you to be passionate about them. Its like watching a wounded gazelle walk into the lions den. The Mets are riddled with injuries and poor performances, and will have to contest with the likes of the Cubs, Phillies(who they can't beat to save their lives) and most likely the Dodgers who have the likes of the red hot Manny Ramirez who very well could win the N.L MVP. But, regardless of how stacked the odds are against the Mets, I will be cheering for them, rooting for that upset. After all that is what makes sports great, you never know what you are going to get.
