Since no one is paying attention now might be a good time to point out some inconceivable occurences taking place during the dog days of this horrible Mets season.
Fernando Tatis is 1 for 33 with 2 outs and runners in scoring position.
As a team the Mets are 4 for 50 with the bases loaded and 2 outs.
Since June 1st, Johan Santana, one of the best second half pitchers ever, is 6-7 with a 4.03 ERA. Now he is likely out for the season with an elbow injury.
K-Rod started the season with a 0.59 ERA and 16 saves in 17 chances. The 17th chance being his first blown save, the one against the Yankees. Since then his ERA is 6.08 and he has blown four games and saved 11.
Gary Sheffield, a 40-year old on a team going nowhere reportedly demanded a contract extension because he was angry the Mets wouldn't let him go to the contending team that claimed him off waivers. When the Mets rejected his preposterous demand, he said he wanted to leave the team, but was bargained down to just sitting out one game.
Billy Wagner, another veteran playing out the string on a horrible team is expected to turn down a trade to the Boston Red Sox.
Oh yeah, the Mets also hit into a game-ending triple play, ending a chance to make an improbable comeback against the Phillies.

i'd release Sheffield immediately. Like yesterday. he dogged it yesterday in the field. As for Wagner just to spite him i would pick up his option. and people wonder why athletes are looked at as spoiled me-first children unaware of how lucky they are.
All good points. This is hands down the least fun I've ever had as a Mets fan, and there have been some bad times. I really hope next season's team is substantially different.
