That's it.
For the third consecutive year, unused celebratory champagne is surreptitiously removed from Shea Stadium.
Stay tuned here throughout the offseason for the conclusion of our Ranking the GMs series.
Whether I will be blogging into the Citi Field era remains an open question.
Cheers.

Indeed, I think the fun in the GM series starts with the next post...
Let's celebrate the 5, count 'em, 5 runs scored this past weekend:
1- Brian Schneider, after getting new life when the catcher botched a foul pop, hits a thrilling ground ball fielders choice, plating the Mets only run on Friday.
2- Carlos Delgado hits an exciting sac fly to center to score Jose Reyes with the game's first run.
3- Ramon Martinez, who basically started playing for the Mets freaking 3 days ago (we'd all like to forget the "I can't make it to third on a hit and run to right field, after all it's not like I was put into the game as a goddamn pinch runner" incident a couple weeks ago) doubles in a run. How many people actually knew he was on the team? CBS Sportline doesn't, they still have a picture of him wearing a Dodger hat. Fortunately, Santana doesn't any more support.
4,5- Carlos Beltran hits a 2-run game tying HR, which becomes the last gasp in the history of Shea.
Even in their 17 game meltdown last year, they scored more runs per game. Sure the bullpen sucks, but this was, once again, a team effort.
Oh well, fuck you Mets, see ya next year.
Well, John your public would still love to read the your latest and potentially last edition of "building the 2009".
I can't believe I am actually thinking about next year with these bums. The good news is we are still not far away from making this a Championship caliber team. I have a feeling that there are a few moves that will get us over the hump, but what those are, I don't know.
I have a feeling trading F-mart for the right piece might do it. We have Wilmer Flores in the wings I guess.

Oh, but John -- aren't you excited for next year? Manuel got an extension and is going to get rid of those guys who "have statistical numbers"!

I couldn't be any more excited for the David Eckstein era in Flushing. (That might be because I'm a Phillies fan, though.)
