All year long the Mets said they had the talent to make it all the way, yet played with no heart down the stretch. This finally led to their demise this afternoon at Shea. It just goes to show that you can have all the talent in the world, and still not even make the playoffs.

I believed, I really did, that they could pull off a miracle, or at least prevent a collapse from happening.  But I was proven wrong. I'm shocked and disappointed in this team, and am left somewhat speechless.  They didn't deserve the playoffs this year, which makes it a little easier to swallow than last year's loss to St. Louis. But it still feels like I'm swallowing nails.
