In '04 they missed the WC by 6 and were never really close. That should have been ’03, not ’04 on the last one. In ’04 they missed the WC by 6 and were never really close.

They were always the bride's maid. '06 miseed WC by 3 games (up .5 w/ 7 to play) '05 missed DIV by 2 games WC by 1 '04 missed WC by 5 games (.5 back w/ 6 to play) Sometimes a team has to be really close and fail a few times before they actually get over the hump.

’06 miseed WC by 3 games (up .5 w/ 7 to play)

’05 missed DIV by 2 games WC by 1

’04 missed WC by 5 games (.5 back w/ 6 to play)

Sometimes a team has to be really close and fail a few times before they actually get over the hump.

Always almost. While close to the playoffs is good for some, and IN the playoffs is even better, I look at it differently. This Mets core is the best talent-wise group to build on since the mid 1980's, and it is being wasted. You have to understand, we are not often blessed with such talent, and to get nothing out of it just plain sucks Maybe cause it will continue to be SO Close with this team. Always almost.

They literally finished as close to the playoffs as a team can without making it. That doesn't make it seem like there would be much need for the drastic improvements all of the mini-GMs/managers are calling for. People act like the team has been awful the past 2 years.

(07 + 08 + 09). its not that we are losing games, or are 2 under .500 that bothers me. Its just that it is THE SAME EXACT crap that i've watched 2 years in a row, and i was actually hopeful i'd see a new attitude this year. Its just very frustrating to not see that. TRS, you may not have called me a moron directly, and if not others like me, your tone is that is what you think. no hard feelings, you will prob live a few years longer than myself b/c of ur approach to watching baseball. its all good. cause, its not 15 games into the season. its 339 games of a continuing malaise.

What is your purpose here...to deter the rest of us from rooting for the team to succeed. The ones that realize its a new year and things will work out differntly. You claim you love your team yet you already prejudge them to fail(15 agmes in mind you) and use the last two years as justification...on top of that critisize and mock the fans that actually want the team to succed...Do us all a favor and if you believe this team is going nowhere dont bother posting or watching the game...let us "dilusional/loptimistic" fans continue to root for our team to win. so if you are one of the ones that predict we are going nowhere…whats the point in continuing to watch the games…or post on a mets blog.

LOL. Ok now seriously, I have never called you a moron that I remember of. Also, you can go back and look at any of my post. I never said "Don't worry it's early and we will make the playoffs" My comments are 1) It is early so there is still plenty of time to get going. I think we have talent and should play well. My hope is those things happen. 2) If you think that it is impossible for us to get going, then why are you waisting your time? Because for 1 I acutally AM smarter than you. LOL.

Do not insult me as a bandwagon fan. Since when did looking at my favorite team objectively, and seeing it for what it is, make me bandwagon? True die hards can criticize and rip their team when it is necessary. Its cause we love them. Its like family. The players on the 86 mets ripped on EACH OTHER in this same way, but if anyone else tried, they wouldn't let it happen. Same with die hard fans pal. Find me a mets fan and i'll rip on their shortcomings with em, find me a yankees or phillies fan that does the same and i'll show you a bandwagon, bud.
