Which of These Things Is Not Like the Other?

In Philadelphia they're talking about Roy Halladay throwing the second no-hitter in postseason history, and about how they're up 1-0 in the series.

On the other side of our town they're glued to their television sets, watching C.C. Sabathia labor against the Twins, and white knuckle-wondering whether they can come back against Francisco Liriano.

And here I am and the best thing Mets fans have going for them right now... I don't know, that Ron Darling sees the Mets' problems the same way Matt Cerrone does?

There's a certain undeniable excitement surrounding the Mets as they search for their new General Manager. He or she will be the person who defines the next era of Mets baseball, so it's a very significant moment.

But no matter who they hire, the Mets are still in a really bad position, most likely going nowhere soon. As for the Phillies and the Yankees, their fans are pretty damn excited right now, and chances are they'll have reason to be this time next October as well.

As for the Mets... well, there's always 2013, right?
