Jock Strapper, our sports reporter, talked with Mets manager Terry Collins after the Mets  finished a disastrous road trip and ended up in last place in the National League East.

"I am not discouraged," Collins said, "and neither are the players.  We've had a bad stretch caused by injuries and our lack of offense, but this will change.  Once we get rolling, our fans will see the team they expected to see."

When asked how the team would finish at the end of the season, Terry replied, "I'll stand by my earlier prediction.  We aren't losers.  We'll end up the mediocre team our fans expect and love.  I think we'll finish one or two games over five hundred. With a few breaks, we could go as high as three games over five hundred."

In regard to making the playoffs, Collins said, "The playoffs aren't what the Mets are about.  It's true the team made the playoffs in the past and even the World Series a few times, but those seasons were aberrations.  Our forte now is mediocrity and we do it very well."
