Yes it would be nice to be in the playoffs. Although I was really hoping for a tie between the Mets and the Phils to play it off today. I wanted the Mets to knock them out themselves but anyway.........
A big part of me is happy they arent in because as a baseball fan I hate watching their antics. Saturday during their 13-0 over the Fish I should have been happy about winning the game, and the awesome game Maine was tossing. I was, but watching Milledge and Reyes celebrating, and dancing after hitting a homer that makes it 9-0 just shows how far away this team is from having the guts and leadership to be a championship team.
Their is a fine line between enthusiasm and classlessness in sports. The Mets in my opinion cross that line quite often. The biggest problem is the absolute fact is that the team doesnt have a real leader or leaders. David Wright is probably still too young himself with guys like Alou and Delgado on the team. Alou and Delgado carry themself with class but that doesnt mean they lead. They need someone to tell guys like Milledge, Reyes, etc. "we dont act that way here, make believe you hit a homer before".
Besides all that ...they just quit on themselves. They lost their hustle, and their edge. Let the Phils play. They never died and never quit...something the Mets did last week sometime.
Living in NY I get to see a lot of Yankee games too. What a difference in the way the teams carry themselves. Its like watching two teams....one professional and one high school team.
