It Just Got Worse

If it didn't already suck enough to be a Mets fan, it just got worse.  The arch rival Phillies clinched the division title by signing star pitcher Cliff Lee.  Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, Cole Hamels, and Cliff Lee now make up the best starting rotation in baseball.  Mike Pelfrey might be able to compete for the 5th spot in the rotation if he were a Philly. 

The Phillies have shown they are willing to do everything it takes to win.  The Mets have done nothing.  How is it that the Phillies can go out and spend money and the Met's can't?  Oh that's right, our excuse is we have too many bad contracts, so we will sit on our asses and do nothing.  Why not just move the team to Kansas City?  I am still waiting for Castillo and Perez to be thrown off the team.   

The Phillies get Cliff Lee and the Mets get Boof Bonzer.  It's a no contest.  Met fans should be really excited they are going into the season playing for second place.  Go out and buy your tickets.  With that starting rotation, the Phillies are a lock to win at least 95 games.  The Mets will be lucky to win 75.  Every day I question my insanity on why I root for this team.
