Well folks that’s it. Baseball’s regular season is over and the only two teams that matter missed the playoffs. The game goes on though, we had a game 163, which saw the Rangers get knocked out… again. And now the wild card games begin, one game to decide a season, should be exciting.

For the Mets who had been playing out the string for the past month and a half this season was a success. Sure they missed the post season, but 2014 looks promising with young stars like Matt Harvey, Zach Wheeler and Travis d’Arnaud ready to contribute for a full season.

For the Yankees this season was a travesty, for the second time in almost 20 years the Yankee season ends in September their aging stars suffered far to many injuries. This exposed a weakness in the upper levels of the farm system. The yanks don’t have young talent readily available to call up, all the stars are playing A & AA ball, likely a year or two away from the big show. The biggest hit though, was the end of Mariano Rivera’s career, the man wasn’t just the greatest closer to ever live, he was a great man and will be remember as a legend and I look forward to being able to tell my children I saw him play.
