The Mets bullpen coughed up another lead. It gets tiresome writing the same things over and over, but the same thing keeps happening over and over. The Mets will either turn over a lead to a bullpen that can't hold it or rely on the relievers to keep the game close until the offense can scratch out some runs. Delgado's late two-run home run was rendered meaningless by Atlanta's 4 run explosion in the bottom of the 8th, leaving the Mets struggling into their final week of the season. Another collapse at the hands of Chicago and Florida over the next 7 days and you'll find me at the bottom of a bottle. What's that? I'm already at the bottom of a bottle? Hmmm...well, let everyone be warned. The Mets miss the playoffs this year and it might depress me to the point of sobriety. Hide the women and children.
In less depressing news, the Giants clawed out a victory against a game Cincinnati team and won in overtime. A win is a win, but I was kind of expecting a 30 point blowout. It's really hard not to score more points against those guys. That being said, with Philly taking out Pittsburgh, Washington beating Arizona, and Dallas stomping Green Bay, the NFC East is now a combined 10-2, with the 2 losses coming intradivision. It was suggested to me this morning that the NFL should abandon the idea of awarding a playoff spot to the NFC West winner and just let all 4 NFC East teams in this year if they earn it.

There was a link on the front page of espn.com last night entitled "Mets bullpen blows it". Having been primed by reading your blog all season, I completely failed to perceive the final word on the first pass.
Yeah, they're like a family site or some shit like that. They can't leave out the pronoun.
