Boscov—

LeBron ain’t coming to the Knicks, and as a Knick fan, check the last decade for a serious reality check.

The Knicks are–seriously—about the very worst franchise in pro sports over the last 8 years.

The Nets are a long ways away from actually contending for a title. When Bron comes to NYC, the Knicks will be right there. I feel bad for fans of teams like the Nets, sure being ‘top 4′ in the conference is dandy but seriously, you need big time players to win in the NBA and the Nets aint close.

C’mon now, let’s be fair. There’s a ton of Philly talk on here too. I highly doubt your average Phillies fan is more concerned with the Mets than a WS win. Also, you gotta admit that poll is pretty funny.

Changing the topic for a moment,
It’s a little disconcerting that the Mets will not subject Johan to an MRI exam.
If there is something wrong we can then take the necessary measures to insure no further damage takes place.
However, without an MRI we are simply speculating and taking a massive risk that Yohan is indeed ok.
This is not quantum physics, it is simply an exercise in common sense, I’m certain that if this was the Braves organization Johan would have had an MRI already.
Let’s not take any chances with our ace or our season for that matter, I implore the powers that be to step in and do the right thing.

Amen!, I too was too young to remember
1969 and actually became a Met fan during
the ‘73 series although to this day the mid 70s A’s teams are some of my favorites.
I think back though over the yrs and believe
it was mostly because my Dad and his brothers looked like Rudi,Tenace&Fingers.
Pretty funny! Starting the ‘74 season,I was
fully on board. My football experiences haven’t
been nearly as bad as yours though because
I’ve been a Steeler fan since ‘72 mostly
because of my late cousin who was my best
friend as a kid. As a long time die-har Knick fan, I’ve also never really experienced a Championship since I didn’t really start to
follow the sport closely until 74-75 when I
started to play which I did through college.

Well, Tug was a huge part of that 1980 team, but Lenny was in high school that year….

Really well-said Fong, seriously.

And for me, Games 6 and 7 were especially sweet, as being in Vermont, I was surrounded by Red Sox fans…I watched Game 6 in a huge room with about 25 people, and ONE other Met fan! They were all jumping up and down just like Clemens, and they got quieter and quieter as Carter, Mitchell and Knight each got their hits…then, when we tied it, they all knew it was over. They were all even totally downcast in Game 7 with the 3–0 lead…they knew what was coming.

And I am 42, and that is my only real championship..too young to remember 69 (I do remember how sad and angry my Dad was in 73 though)…and I am a Dolphin and Net fan, and wasn’t into football enough to appreciate 72 and 73, and the 82 Dolphins SB loss still kills me—if Don McNeal could have just dragged Riggins down on that 4th down play they show EVERY year! And those damn 2003 Nets….blew that lead in Game 6 in San Antonio….

But the 86 Mets are so special. I thought we had it again in 06, and I am feeling VERY good about this coming year.

Lets no forget that the Phillies last won the world series on the backs of two former METS, Lenny’ nails” Dystra and thlate Great Tug “ya gotta beleive” McGraw. So take that.

Like i said over the yrs i’ve become pretty
pessimistic about my Mets But if I cant be
optimistic about Putz/Rodriguez at the back
end of games,well then I cant be optimistic
about anything. Its not like omar went out and
got us Gregg and Fuentes where you’d think
wow this could really work out well.
Putz/KRod is along the thought lines of
wow this SHOULD work out REAL well.
All we need is pitching health and
we’re a 90-95 win team.
