Fitting End for the Mets

Mets fans are saying, "Oh God, not again". Yes, again.

After the Mets lost to the Marlins 4-2, the Mets have been eliminated from the playoff picture. Therefore, the Dodgers, Cubs, Brewers, and Phillies will represent the NL. As for the AL, the Rays, Red Sox, and Angels are assured of playoff spots. The Twins are winning, and the White Sox have won. If the Twins win, they'll be up half a game, and then, the White Sox have to win their postponed game tomorrow to tie. The tie-breaker would be Tuesday.

Anyway, back to the Mets. As in most games, the Mets were ahead and in control heading into the last bit. Like the last bit of games with their bullpen, they lost the playoff race at the very end. Today, their bullpen lost them the game, although they didn't blow the save. It just seems fitting that they would lose the season-defining moment in such a way.
