>Welcome to October, the month after Fred Wilpon likes to play meaningful games.
It occurs to me that the Red Sox have become the Yankees. They have a historic ballpark, some classic uniforms, some history and they win the World Series.
Meanwhile the Mets have become the Red Sox.
What do I mean?
When the bullpen blew the tie did you think the Mets would win? No.
If they had won what were you saying about Monday – I heard a lot of “could be tough with Pedro pitching.”
I also heard a lot of “The Cubs will beat ‘us’ anyway.”
The talk of 2008 was the collapse of 2007.
What do you suppose the talk of 2009 will be?
We are now conditioned to expect to lose. If they open up a 15 game lead in April we will spend six months wondering when the collapse will come. If they make the playoffs, the expectation will be that they will blow it.
Welcome to October. Welcome to Day 3 of the Mets not refunding my playoff tickets.
