Slap Slap Snap out of it! A few weeks ago, everyone knew that the Mets were so superior to the rest of the National League that they were going to roll through the NL playoffs. But think of what this would have done to the poor networks. No mystery. Ratings would have been in the pits. They would have been forced to show reruns of old sitcoms or X-Files episodes. I have it on good authority (and I'll go to jail to protect my sources) that they pleaded with the Mets to make this more interesting. So the Mets decided to throw the other teams a bone by going into the playoffs without their best pitchers. They can, and will, still win. You know it. And they know it too. Now sit back, relax, and have another sip of this delicious Kool Aid I've been drinking. Later
