Jealousy is such an ugly thing.
Like you wouldn't count and treasure your team's championships won during those eras.
Like we shouldn't count any of Babe Ruth's homers 'cause blacks were prohibited from playing in MLB back then. Like we shouldn't count any of Gaylord Perry's wins 'cause he threw an illegal spitball. Like we shouldn't count the mets 1969 championship 'cause they were all meth heads.
So silly.
Your jealousy is so obvious.

Too many injuries.....and too many good teams in our division.
Wait 'til next year.
I said this about 4 times in this thread but no response...Over half achieved when either blacks weren't allowed to play or your squad tried to emulate Schwartzenegger's training program.
-How many before Jackie Robinson?
-How many before the 62 expansion?
-How many before divisional playoffs?
-How many before Free Agency?
-How many in this Century?
A matter of fact, I would like to submit the "FACTS" that the San Francisco Giants and the Boston Red Sox are so far TEAMS OF THE CENTURY. *See this give Mets fan gives props to those who deserve them... even to the Yankees' "Baby Bombers" last couple of months (unlike others).
Oh my God it, great post,truth hurts so many of them.Over half achieved when either blacks weren't allowed to play or your squad tried to emulate Schwartzenegger's training program.
And then it will be the Cubs are waiting, and then it will be the AL champ is waiting, I get it.
Hopefully the Mets wont be as disappointed with this years "second place finnish" as the Yankees did last year when Houston's Dallas Kuechel shut them down and out.
BTW, two years ago, TWO "second place finnishers" played in the best World Series in years. Guess San Francisco and Kansas City were disappointed with their second place finnish as well, eh?
tico, I also mentioned this several times, it's all about the ride, not a line in the history books. As a NY Giants fan, I heard about Y.A,Tittle, and Rosie Greer, and Frank Gifford from my uncles and all those great Giant players. Can't really relate to them, and find no excitement talking about them. Also, they played at a time when those linemen aren't even as big as many running backs are today. Totally different type game, not even close,that is all.
tico, stop with the facts, they like to twist the facts to suit their needs.Wild card teams are only a success when it's the Yankees,lol.
Who said whos going to win the World Series?
No Met fan said we are going to win the WS, but will you be back after the Mets beat Bumgarner, or will you slide back under that moss covered rock you reside under?
Making the wildcard with a massive amount of injuries is much more impressive than a $200 million team that misses the playoffs.
No different than Yankee fans using the "sellers" excuse for not making the playoffs. I really see no difference, except, you guys could have prevented it, injuries happen, and the Mets overcame them and still got in. Says something about the difference between both organizations,fool.
I have no expectations in the playoffs. Your team isn't going to the playoffs and has spent $800 million on player salaries in the last 4 years and they have 0 wins in the playoffs. That's hard to do.
The Mets win and clinch the home wild card!
2 straight playoff appearances. Home field is huge.
PLAYOFFS! WHERE ARE U YANKEE FANS NOW?!!
LGM YGB!
LGM YGB!

I give the Mets organization a lot of credit for making the playoffs. It may not go beyond Wednesday (Baumgarner is always tough) but what they overcame this year with injuries was amazing. I had heard of the likes of Gsellman and Lugo before but really those guys plus the two Rivieras (sp different I know) really is testament to Alderson and his organization. It will be interesting to see what the roster is for the post season. Do the carry more than 11 pitchers? I assume two catchers and Duda, Lagares, Johnson Conforto as extras.
Just read a article that suggests the Mets would likely carry only 9 or 10 pitchers on the post season roster particularly for the one game series. I assume they can reset the roster after each round? I forgot about DeAza who would have to be on the roster. Flores would be a welcome RH bat but I assume is wrist is still not right. That could mean they carry Plawecki as a 3rd catcher so that D'Arnaud can be used as a RH PH. I would guess the pitchers would be Noah, Bart, Gsellman, Lugo. Then Familia, Reed, Robles, Blevins and Salas? If they wanted a second lefty out of the pen it would probably be Edgin over Gilmartin.
69 team were meth heads? What have you been smoking?
We still don't know if the Mets will play the Cards or Giants. As a Mets fan, it would be great if they ended in a tie and had to play Monday. Does anyone know who would be the pitchers Monday if they had to a have a play-in game?
Got that from a post in this thread by an ex-MLB player....one who would know.
Pay attention.
Wahhhh wahhhhhh. NYC back to being a Mets town.

Yes they can reset. Flores done for season. De aza most definitely will be on roster, including against the Cubs(for some reason I have a lot confidence in the Mets winning the WC game). Question is if conforto will be on the roster, which would IMO suck if he's not.
Let's Go Mets
Ya Gotta Believe
Conforto has to be on the roster. I think Duda is probably more of a question mark than Conforto. Problem is that our bench is going to be loaded with left handed hitters.
Congratulations to the Mets. Great job with all of the injuries.
As a Cubs fan, list team you want the Cubs to play in the playoffs, in order: Mets, Giants Cards?
I was at the game today and it was so pleasurable seeing Met fans take over Citizens Park but more importantly to treasure this moment - which approx 6 weeks ago - no one could have seen this occurring. What this team did - overcoming the ton of injuries and being 2 games under .500 and 5 1/2 games out of the WC in mid August is indeed a special moment nad I for one am so glad that I trekked down to Philly to be there.
Funny moment from last night with former Met Angel Pagan and fans rushing the field to give Giant fans flowers. Hilarious comment by Vin Scully.
"A couple of kids, trying to steal a moment, slow down the game, running on the field and just taking a big moment on the big stage. They’ve got one of them in right field, and the other one is nailed down by Pagan in left field. And the crowd loved that! They went up to do something with Angel Pagan, but [Pagan] grabbed him and slammed him to the ground, and they’re taking him off the field. […] Doesn’t that bring you back to the ’60s, and the flower children? Oh what, you don’t remember the ’60s? Okay."

Yup, he sure would know about that stuff,I was surprised, but he said no teams were clean, and no managers were ignorant to players doing stuff.
Absolutely no giving up by the manager,players, GM and owners and fans. A 180 compared to that other organization,lol.
tico, it looks like RutgersBig deleted this post,lol. Once again his fact checker forgot to look at how the Yankees handled the celebration for making the WC game last year,lol.Has there been anybody more wrong, in more posts than that moron?
What kind of shower did the Yankees take today?
Moderator must be a Yankees fan. Why edit my post? Cause I called some whiny little B a "little girl" and a "dumbass"?? Ridiculous. Why don't you guys ban the troll for being a troll instead????
If you guys did this, ya know- what should be done (or at least edit THEIR post) I wouldn't be sitting here using profane language bc the trolls wouldn't be here in the first place to aggravate ppl and stir up BS

Good point. It's just like these young whipper snappers today who will tell you Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett are the greatest. Idiots. Give me Louis Armstrong or Al Jolson all day, every day.
People just don't realize how good the Philadelphia Athletics, St Louis Browns and Washington Senators were.
Gotta love the 20's.

I went to yesterday's game-ignoring ours- to see Ryan Howard off.Because of the starting time,my friend and I were able to get seats 20 rows behind the Phillies' dugout for a reasonable price.You can really appreciate the speed of the game with that propinquity
