Jerry Manuel summed it up for everyone when he said "It's bad. It's bad. It's bad."
Maybe it's for the best.
We're looking at a rain filled weekend, and even before you start talking doubleheaders you are already talking about starting Knight or Figueroa in game 161.
This is a team with one pitcher. Not one starting pitcher, one pitcher.
Maybe the some squeeze in. Maybe Santana throws 225 pitches on Sunday. Maybe Shea gets to have game 163 on Monday.
The Cubs are in coast-mode and are beating the Mets. What happens when the Mets start Four Inning Pedro and I dunno Knight and Figueroa in the NLDS. You might not even get to Santana.
So maybe it's best they collapse. Let Omar take the job a little more seriously before he gets 4 more years. Take a look at what the fanbase likes (homegrown scrappy kids that wear 28 and fewer Luis Castillos).
Maybe it's best we don't put playoff money in the Wilpon's pockets.
Maybe it's for the best that the team realizes you have to play hard in April too, a franchise-wide problem that goes back to the Bobby V days.
I'm ready to boo them one last time on Sunday and then join the rest of NYC in following The Further Adventures of Joe Torre.
See you at Citi Field by the yet unannounced thing that honors the NY Giants.
