Oh, come on now. This is like the Cubs going up to the Mets this week, tapping them on the shoulder and saying, "Uh, we know you just swept us out of the NLCS but we know we can beat you four out of seven right now and we've got a ballpark sitting empty so won't you please come back to Chicago so we can beat you and go to the World Series?"
The incredulous look you'd see on the Mets' faces is pretty much the incredulous look I had on my face when I read this article this morning.
