The Mets Collective Blood Type is O-

Anyone who's been paying even remote attention to baseball will know that the Mets are hemorrhaging. They stopped the bleeding on Sunday, only to pick the scab on Monday. They've been bleeding ever since.

The Phillies aren't exactly taking advantage of their golden opportunity, and the Mets are still up by two games with five to play. But if the Mets had even played mediocre baseball this month, they'd have clinched the division two weeks ago.

It's been bad enough that I'm not even trying to watch any games. I did a Mets news blackout over the weekend. It's just bad for my blood pressure.

Ladies and gentlemen (baseball and non-baseball fans alike), enjoy this photo of the most attractive couple in Britain, Matthew MacFadyen and Keeley Hawes:
