[...] Saints winning the Super Bowl was the first professional sports championship to be decided since the World Series ended ignominiously in early November. Football beat baseball in this matchup. What would you rather witness: a [...]

The problem is that it SHOULD have been us. MLB is set up for the big-market teams to win.
There's no salary cap– that favors the rich teams.
You can go “over slot” and pay draft choices more money than MLB mandates– that favors the rich teams.
Foreign players are not subject to the draft and can be signed for any amount of money– that also favors the rich teams.
A big market team with lots of money will be in the playoffs every year if it's well-managed. look at the Yankees, Red Sox, Angels, and now the Phillies.
The Mets have no excuse. For this team, with all its resources, to fall short year after year, is testament to how poorly the organization is managed. Until there's change at the top, we'll be watching a whole lot of other teams celebrate victories that could easily have been ours.

I've been in Massachusetts on business the last couple of days. I'm waiting to leave the hotel to go back to NY. If I wait until 1 PM to drive back, the party will have died down. But I'll home in time for the 6 PM news and to watch it over and over on MLBN, so I guess I can't escape it.

No derision to you, but all the same, thanks for nothin'! At least you and your entire city can be content with an NL championship. We in NY will be surrounded by satan's minions shouting “27 rings, baby” perpetually, when not congratulating themselves for having stuck it out during a semingly endless championship drought .

Guys, I've come here to comment a time or two this year and now that my Phillies have come up short I'll take whatever derision you may care to send my way.
I really want to see us fighting it out in the last week of the 2010 season for the NL East title and if a wild card is in the mix as well, even better. You guys are WAY more fun than Atlanta or Florida ever are. I'd LOVE a Phillies/Mets NLCS on the way to a Yankees WS. Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year – see ya in 3 months in Florida.

don't worry, you're not missing anything: there is no silver lining. the only thing you can marvel at about 2009 is the sheer completeness of the devastation.
i just wish the wilpons saw it that way, too. a false hope if there ever was one.

I'm trying, real hard, to see the silver lining here amidst the Evil Empire clouds that will obscure all that is good and light until next April. Now I have even more reason to loathe the Phillies, so there's that. Nice going, assholes. As far as silver linings go, that's about it.
The worst part is hearing one of them blather on and on about the nine whole years they've waited. I'd kill for a world title every nine years. All I can really do is try to ignore them as best as possible and not give them the attention they crave. It doesn't make it any less sickening though.
Note to Mets ownership: we'd like to be relevant again now, sirs. That is all, thank you.

Not for nothing, but my dad's and most of my father's side of the family are Yankees fans. I picked the Mets and don't regret it for a minute. Remember how much fun we had in '86? Did it look like anyone connected with the Yankees was having this kind of fun? They looked merely relieved, if you ask me.
