          CINCINNATI -- Guess who is rooting for the New York Mets to win the World Series?

          Yes, MVP candidate Bryce Harper, who was just eliminated along with his Washington Nationals teammates.

          Harper had said upon arriving in spring training, "Where's my ring?" But the Nationals woefully underachieved.

          "I think that’s just the way it was this year," Harper told reporters in D.C. "The Mets had everything going for them. They did a lot of things. That deadline came around and they got [Yoenis] Cespedes, [Tyler] Clippard and they built their team. They did a great job this year and they’re doing it. Coming from the East, I hope they win it all … because they’re from the East and you want that out of your division. I hope they win it all and good luck to them."
