Last night, the New York Mets put a small dent in the Florida Marlins' wild-card hopes. The Mets' 3-2 victory at Shea Stadium means the Marlins are now three games behind Houston with 11 games left.

At this point, all the Mets can do is play spoiler. They could've done much more, but faded out in typical Met fashion. What is with this team anyway? For as much money as the ownership spends on players, the return on the investment is so small. As guest commentator Marty Monforte would say, the Mets make headlines in December, but don't make the playoffs in the fall.
