The Popo Awards: The Recap

For those of you who missed it this weekend, the Mets performance in the final 3 days of the season solidified their win in the Best Choke Artist Award. I believe this was their acceptance speach:

Beat the Mets, beat the Mets,
Last place teams defeat the Mets.
Hanging sliders, minor-league speed, guaranteed to waste a seven-run lead.
Because the Met bullpen keeps fading away, October baseball won't be at Shea. Mota . . . Sosa . . .every game is now in doubt.
Can anyone who's on this staff get
three men out?
(Thanks Mr. Bennett)
