The Mets season has finished, and some of their players are having a hard time letting go of their promise not to shave until they reach .500. After finishing with a record of 70-92, several of the players finally admitted that they "probably" wouldn't be reaching their goal of perfect mediocrity. "We really wanted to be average", offered right fielder Jeff Francoeur. "We don't show up to finish 22 games under .500, we want to be .500. That's why the beards are so hard to let go. We held out hope that our dream of averageness was in reach, but apparently not. It's very disappointing." David Wright, the Mets All Star 3rd baseman, won't shave until the Mets have gotten back to being a middle of the road team. "Finishing near the bottom of the division is not acceptable. We all strive to be in the middle of the division. This is not fair to our fans, they pay good money to watch us win a game and then lose a game, not lose two or three for each win. "
