Your desperate belief in the invincibility of your closer? Let's throw that in the truck too. Your bullpen's freshness and indefatigability? Thank you. Your joke of a ballpark's ability to cheapen the value of a run, a lead, the game of baseball, and all the profession of ballpark architecture? We're taking that right on down to the salvage yard." The Mets aren't contending this year, but I'd love to have the Yankees looking back in September, 10 games out of the 2nd Wild Card, and knowing that a sweep (or would it really be 2 sweeps of 2 games each? haha!) by the Mets was where it all started to go wrong
