Make plans for Octrober

Poor Mets! A ninth inning like tonight's one can destroy your whole season. Five runs in the ninth, from three up to two down, just like that. A beat down like that can leave you crushed and demoralized. You start getting mopey, you go on a bad streak, loose seven of nine, and suddenly you're looking up at both the Phillies and the Marlins and you might as well start booking your tee times for Hilton Head in October.

Wow. What a beating.
