One thing that irks me, all season when the Mets were doing well, they got next to zero press both here in NY and nationwide... i'd watch Sportscenter and the rest of ESPN shows and all they would talk about was Yankees, Yankee highlights, will the Yankees make the playoffs, what's wrong with the Yanks, which shirt will Arod Schma-rod's wife wear next... and you had to watch for 2 hours to see a 2 minute story about the Mets win... now that they're losing, they're all anyone can talk about, hour long discussions about the team.... where was the interest in them when they were doing well?
If you ask me, the thing they need most is some kind of team psychiatrist... they probably weren't as good as they were when they were winning, they're not as bad as they're playing now, once they got into their losing streak they started playing like a team who didn't believe they could win, and they started pressing, playing tight and stiff, making all the defensive, base running, and pitching mistakes that a losing team makes.... as opposed to the way the Phils have been playing like they're posessed thinking they can't lose.....
Now it will take a minor miracle to accomplish something that seemed so easy a couple of weeks ago, but just like all the late inning bullpen meltdowns that have cost so many of us what looked like sure wins over the year, the season ain't over till it's over and i won't be counting the Mets out until the time comes that they're really out
