Some of it depends on the makeup of our team. In Game 1, say Ayala comes in for a save. In Game 2 we may be forced to use an even lesser option for that game as closer. Our pen is overall so bad, that if we had to use all the reliable arms the first game, we may be in deep trouble the second game. Who knows how some of the older players perform after playing for 6+ hours, too.. I completely see what you’re saying – but with that being said it would be difficult to win 2.

And yes, I definitely would like to see the Mets make the playoffs and would hate some concerns for fans with tickets to mess that up. BUT, if you or I (I'm not going to these games, so don't think that I personally have a vested interest in this) had bought tickets months ago, won a lottery or paid hundreds of dollars for tickets and maybe even travel, hotel, etc., we'd hate to be robbed not only of the money, but emotionally of the chance to Shea Goodbye. For some, including myself, the loss of Shea is the real story this season, no matter what happens. And I hope no one will accuse me of not being a true fan for saying this, since I've been following the team for well over 40 years. Shea's demolition won't be undone. But true, neither would being eliminated from 2008 action. It's just that, if the worst happens, and I hope it doesn't, we always have next year. I'm just saying that if for some reason, they will turn 50,000 ticketholders away, it won't be unless it's absolutely necessary - and considering the finances of that, there's a good bet that everyone will get to see a game, so that's a good incentive.

So what works best for them? Good thing the Mets have all 40 players then can possibly have on board. Dont forget, the Marlins players are in on the vote as well. So what works best for them?
