Good morning Mets fans,
Just one more week in the season that won’t end.
While risking losing half my audience, I tip my hat to the Phillies. Barring a Randolphian collapse this will be their 4th straight division title (and they’ve clinched a wild card anyway).
Remember back in the summer when it looked like the Braves were leaving them in the dust?
The Phils play you all 162. They are in a new ballpark that is sold out every night. Their management went out and got them another pitcher.
They are scrappy and dirty (messy) and remind me of a dirty scrappy team from my youth.
Isn’t that what we’ve been looking for in Queens? Do you think the 86ers would have quietly let Ollie cash checks all year?
Another good job Phillies. We’ll get you next year!
(I’m not sure I believe that last sentence.)
