It was a dissappointing end to a very exciting Mets season.
On Sunday the bats never got going, and other than a dramatic game tying homerun from Carlos Beltran, the Mets couldn't get very much going, losing a 4-2 heartbreaker on a day they had to win to force a one game playoff with the Brewers.
So take a break, catch your breath, and start looking to next year.
The Mets "superstar core", which consists of Johan Santana, David Wright, Jose Reyes, and Carlos Beltran will all be here for 2009.
Toss in Carlos Delgado, Ryan Church, John Maine, and Mike Pelfrey, and it's easy to see that the Mets will again contend in '09.
There are issues to be addressed, primarily in the bullpen and in the starting pitching staff, but we're confident that next year's team will be even better than this years.
Thanks to all the readers here for your continued support. There is much more to come!

The Mets need a better bullpen...period. The likes of Matt Wise (for a week), the return of Duaner Sanchez and Joe Smith shouldn't count. Omar did nothing last offseason, and now he's on the hook for it. I hope the Mets realize that they had two near misses in 1984 and 1985...they came back on fire in 1986.
