CENTRAL ISLIP, NY - Late at night as the Mets were on the road, the team fired its manager as the highly regarded club - just a season and change off a game 7 loss in the NLCS – floundered a few games under .500.

New York was supposed to dominate, because a Cy Young winner from Minnesota came to the club and the lefthanded closer was considered one of the best in the league.

Does this sound familiar?
