Copper Lining

Well, it's not quite a silver lining, maybe a copper lining? We're now in the same position as two days ago, with the slight additional edge of having two more games off the schedule.

The team's going to have to learn from this, and maybe they it's a lesson that needs to be learned before they can succeed.

It's too late in the season to worry about micromanaging or second guessing Willie, or blaming someone for this. I look to the future and hope the Mets can make this stretch a small black mark on an otherwise terrific season.

Besides, the NL East Champion Phillies just has a poor ring to it.
