Without Lidge’s performance last year the Phillies would not have won a World Championship. So it was huge for them.

The best deal in Mets’ history? Well the Mets would not have won a World Championship in 1986 without Keith Hernandez. So just amend that statement to “one of the best deals in Mets’ history.”

Here’s a trivia question where every Mets fan knows the answer. What was the best pick out of a hat in Mets history?

That’s the same read I got. He was referring to the other poster. It’s a shame people here are so ready to insult and demean their fellow Mets fans without taking the time and trouble to try and comprehend what they read.

The 1982 Atlanta Braves started the season 13-0 and afterwards went 76-73 yet managed to win their division by 1 game. Also if one team gets incredibly hot and opens a large lead the other teams find themselves swimming upstream for the season with little margin for error.

Do you honestly believe that if Murphy works hard he can become as good an outfielder as Beltran?

All you’re missing is Kate Smith singing “God Bless America” in the background. lol

Just like they should show some patience with the team you should show some patience with the fans. They’re frustrated from the previous two season endings and had hope the club would start off strong in their new ball park. They’re also upset that players on other teams trash talk the Mets and then laugh and celebrate on the Mets home turf (Bell, the Marlins at the end of the past two seasons, etc.).

I hope you realize that in the Florida series the Mets outscored the Marlins by the margin of 13 to 11 and in the recently completed San Diego series the Mets outscored the Padres by the margin of 17 to 14. Thus they outscored the opposition in the last two series by 5 runs. So how can you say they have problems with their offense? Just because they lost 4 out of 6 ……….

Haven’t you ever heard of a string and a door knob? lol

You missed a period? Congratulations! lol

You two going to play dueling banjos? :)
