So be it.

To be fair, I will never care about that "it". Put the entire Mets rotation onto the Mariners: they'll lose a hell of a lot more than they win. Curt Schilling would have lost 20 games a season with complete games giving up 1 run if his team couldn't score. So the "it" factor of playing under pressure? Don't care.

Also, are the Mets really that big of a media? I hear a hell of a lot more about the Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, etc. Don't understand how not being up there with them is being in the spotlight simply because it's New York. They're kind of the Oakland to San Francisco.
