Maybe they don't feel like this. But I do.

I always loved it when Shea Stadium was full. Here it is on the day of the final game.

The New York Post is reporting that the Mets are planning on picking up Carlos Delgado's option for the 2009 season.

The story quotes Omar Minaya as saying the pickup of Delgado's contract is, "a formality."

Delgado hit 38 Home Runs and knocked in 115 runs this season.

The legend will continue to grow now that word is out that Johan pitched the shutout on Saturday with a torn meniscus in his knee.

The New York Post is reporting that Johan had surgery today to repair the injury.

"The Mets announced that team medical director Dr. David Altchek and team physician Dr. Struan Coleman today successfully performed arthroscopic surgery on Santana's left knee to treat a torn meniscus."

This news makes the performance even more amazing. It's good to know that we've got a pitcher with that much talent and toughness at the front of the rotation for the 2009 season.

Perhaps the best way to get past a loss this devastating is to look forward. it is no secret what our biggest flaw was this season. it is in a way sort of suiting that the mets lost due to schoenweis letting up a late homer. i think our starting pitching and bats are the best in the NL, other than with RISP, but we could use some help there too. we have some ap room again so it's time for minaya to go to work. here are my proposed moves for this offeseason.

1. fire heilman.
2. fire feliciano.
3. don't resign pedro. i think he is done.
