sympathy for the mets

The New York Mets put the finishing touches on their complete collapse, losing to the Marlins while the Philadelphia Phillies beat Washington to take the National League East. They were 7 games ahead less than three weeks ago, so that took some doing.

If it had been the Yankees or the Dodgers, I would celebrate the collapse as a good thing. But instead, my sympathy for the Mets and their fans - that's an awful feeling.

Wonder if it will cost Willie Randolph his job?
