Wilpon$ won't do it though, they got what they always wanted: Meaningful September games. Good owners aim for meaningful OCTOBER games. The Wilpon$ will never be confused for good owners.

I'm on dangerous ground here, I know. I am not a Mets fan, so I am only dimly aware of the various complaints against Callaway, Van Wagenen, and the Wilpons and I don't disagree with those complaints.
I merely want to say that, oddly enough, the Mets did attract my attention this season (partly due to following along in this thread); enough to prompt me to "flip the newspaper page" when finished reading about the Yankees to see what's going on with the Mets.
As a (mostly) disinterested bystander, I can offer this perspective in the form of a quote from one of those Mets articles: "They were happy about how they’d clawed back from 11 games under .500 in July to be eliminated only in game No. 158. They were disappointed the end came so fast."
In other words, I think you have a good team there. I only hope that they get the quality of management and ownership that they deserve.
