I was expecting a major implosion in August. So when that didn't happen, I had a slightest bit of hope. I didn't expect them to get past the Dodgers, either. After game 2 against the Cards, I officially declared the Mets were "done" to all my friends. They went beyond my expectations for the season. But having said all that, I still feel like someone punched me in the gut today. Edgy, I agree with all your Wright points.
