Things I Do Not Want To Believe

• The Mets season is really over.
• . . . and it has been for a while.
• The Mets might exist without Jose Reyes.
• The Mets might exist without David Wright.
• 2012's starting rotation will look quite similar to 2011's starting rotation.
• The Mets might sign a backup catcher and send Mike Nickeas back to AAA.

• Xavier Nady will be a free agent.  Again.
• Joe Smith might actually be used as trade bait.
• Grady Sizemore hasn't been Grady Sizemore for a long time.

• It is going to be a long offseason.
