Most of the Mets fans I know, myself included, surely have gotten *excited* at various points in this season, but I don’t know one Met fan who has at any point said or believed the Mets would get into the postseason - not to mention the World Series! Sheesh. If there’s one thing most Mets fans know about, it’s keeping expectations low. I think this kind of makes us seem like blithering idiots, when most of us are pretty sober about our team’s prospects. The Mets sure have a way of keeping it interesting and then crushing all hope…but hope is way different than expectation. And by the way, the latter is a sentiment felt a lot more by fans of that *other* New York team. I dunno, my friend.

I know it is harder for some people to get out to the games this time of year but come on .... remeber how shea was that Sunday night against Philly when Santana pitched? That is how Shea should be all week. Lets get behind or team.

I did not like the way he and mad dog handled the whole Santana situation saying how he did not want to be a Met but a Yankee or Red Sox and the Mets wont get him blah blah blah but he is right on about the Mets and not all but lots of Mets fans. We are so negative about or team and look at this last week of the season last week of She our team went in to the week 2 games up in the wild card playing a team like the Cubs and the Shea had lots of Cubs fans and negative Met fans.

Expectations are a b*tch, there really were none in 98 or 99, I did not expect the Mets to make the playoffs and was surprised and excited that they did make it. After 2006, we've felt like perennial contenders, which we are, but to fall just short with the playoffs easily within reach two years in a row would be hard to swallow. Brewers at Mets next Monday would really be awful for all the Mets planning for Shea's last game, solely at the expense of the fans. Fans who bought a seven pack for a ticket to game 162, or fans who just spent hundreds of dollars or more for that ticket. If the Mets lose that last game to slide into a playoff, there'll be a lot of bitter fans at Shea. The main difference here is 2006.
