As a Yankee fan, I have this to say to my Met brethern: relax. Here's what you've got going for you: 1- the NL blows 2- You've got one of the great postseason performers going for you in Games 1 and 4 (or 5) in El Duque. With everyone relying on him he will be, as Mike Francesa would say, huge... huge. 3- the NL blows 4- they can't pitch, but neither can anyone else except the Astros 5- the NL blows The Mets s/b fine... pray they don't have to face Houston (Oswalt, Clemens, Pettitte). Then they might be in trouble.

sorry guys wasn't meant to be. you have a new curse, and his name is pedro. Haha! If the Mets do get their shit straight, and start playing baseball like they had been most of the year, I'm sure they'll make it through this. I have my doubts though. If they make it to the WS, I don't think they'll win. Starting with their last stint against the Pirates and up to now, they have played like crap as a whole. Starting pitching has bombed, and offense has been back to their regular MO of leaving men on base.

The Valentine years? Bobby had his team over acheiving and was on top of things as a manager. Willie is managing this team without a care in the world...like Art Howe.

The last couple of Mets games have been painful.
