It's Deja Vu all over again for fans of the New York Metropolitans, as for the second year in a row, the Mets decided that there was no point in playing in the playoffs and officially gave their spot to the Milwakee Brewers. The Mets showed just how much they love Bud Selig, by offering the commish, his team's first playoff appearance in 16 years. In return the Mets will hand over GM Omar Minaya, to the umemployment line. New Yorkers everywhere applauded the deal, as it will give them more time to watch Brett Favre throw Touchdowns, and watch the Knicks have another lottery bound season.
Sadly though Shea Stadium will be reduced to a parking lot after the embarrassing season collapse. But it won't get the ESPN coverage, or Cooperstown induction like its hot older sister Yankee Stadium did. Instead, it will be buried into the ground where it shall rot for eternity. Opening beside the future parking lot will be the poorly spelled Citi Stadium that will house Met disappointments for the 21st century. Hey but at least Carlos Delgado is making 21 million a year!
