To paraphrase that eminent philsopher Berra.

You know your team is doing poorly when its home town newspaper starts giving them a box with just a few paragraphs, as The New York Times print edition did for last night’s 10-1 Mets loss to the Giants. Haven’t done a line-by-line comparison, but here’s the Web version, which is similarly skimpy.

The Times put the squeeze play on the Mets.

The Times put the squeeze play on the Mets.

It’s probably the Mets fan in me, but I used to get quite annoyed if the Yankees, in defeat, got more ink than the Mets in victory. I’m just sayin’…
