I think we can now get on with the business at hand. The Yankees won the series. At least the Phillies lost, right? There's only one thing that the Mets can do to answer. And that's put together a really solid squad in the offseason by addressing the most critical needs like first base, left field, a quality starter and a setup man. The bottom line is that the Mets won't get it done in 2010 without some key additions.  So it's time for Omar Minaya to get to work. Otherwise that stadium is going to be a ghost town next year.

Looking on the bright side I think that the Mets were vindicated on two major decisions they made in 2010.

1. Not signing Pedro Martinez. He didn't look good for the Phillies in the playoffs. Yes' he's really done.
2. Trading Billy Wagner. The Mets weren't going anywhere anyway so they might as well get something for Wagner who would've been a free agent anyway. Wagner didn't help the Red Sox get past the Yankees and couldn't have done anything to help the Mets.

So the reboot starts now. Your thoughts?

I'll leave you with a video that harkens back to happier times earlier in 2009 when the possibilities were endless.
