But due to an extremely busy day at work, and also due to the economic meltdown and the political ramifications (my interests in life do extend beyond baseball…), you will all have to wait another day for my piece on the end of the season.

With last night’s loss to the Nationals, along with the Mets defeating the Cubs, the Marlins were eliminated from the Wild Card.  For all intents and purposes, the season is now over.
