By the way, look for the Dow to come down significantly if (when? I hope not) the Mets do make their exit from the Playoffs. Okay, so I don't put too much stock in it (hey - that's a good one), but there is something of a historical correlation between the market's performance and the extent to which New York's teams exceeded or failed to meet fans' expectations.
There has to be some explanation as to why October is the primary month for 'crashes'. Right?
