"Oh, What A Night..."

...late September, in 2008;
Carlos Beltran stepping to the plate;
What a finish, what a night!

And yes it was, what a night, what a finish... it actually made me think, just for one lovely moment, that the Mets could, they would, they might, they shall....

But today, I don't really know what to feel. All I know is that the great Rickey Henderson is right -- strap in, buckle up, get y'er vomit bags, and get ready for the ride of your life, the last weekend of the 2008 regular baseball season, when anything can, and probably will, happen.

As much as I've maligned, snickered at, pooh-poohed, criticized and genuinely have hated this team this year, if you're a Mets fan, you can't help but to be thrilled to your toes about this weekend, even if perversely. You're either waiting for them to excel and propel, or to flop and drop.

Either way, it's as exciting as hell.

They certainly have the ability to come back the next day after a loss that should finish them off.

The question is do they run out of games to keep pulling that trick off.

That is, indeed, the question, George, and let us not forget, the lineup and pitcher they faced last night was less than...stellar, shall we say. And they STILL had a tough time, but did of course get the exciting win.

All things considered, it's going to be an exciting weekend.
