Running METS Thread

3 complete games in the past 4 games. Smoltz, Davies, and Hudson were on fire this past week, and Thomson should have won his game. Braves are only 8-8 but looking a TON better, and Pena looked good at shortstop. Andruw Jones and LaRoche had really good weekends

 

Maybe next year...

lol..... 14 division titles 1 ws title....:banginghe all those wasted years... btw the mets looked lost against the braves but 3 starters missing may have hurt as much as the great braves pitching...it is still way to early to say anything about either team at this point... i still think the braves will not win the east this year though

 

please dont remind me of our post season woes.
we're missing a few guys too but you're right, its very early. i think the mets had a chance to make more of a statement than the braves did. its the first real competition they've faced thus far and the braves stole their thunder at shea. but i wont discount the mets just yet. they have all the tools in place, just gotta do it. they have a very good shot at winning the NLE this year imo.

 

Braves were without 2 starters.

I would much rather see the Braves win 14 straight division titles and 1 World series than sit through some of the god awful seasons some of these teams had in that same time frame.

 

World series champs in that same time frame

91-Twins
92-Blue Jays
93-Blue Jays
95-Braves
96-Yankees
97-Marlins
98-Yankees
99-Yankees
00-Yankees
01-Diamondbacks
02-Angels
03-Marlins
04-Red Sox
05-White Sox

 

And at what point did the Mets stop "sucking ass"?

I know, it was the 01 season when they were 2 games over .500. Or maybe it was the 02 season when they posted that amazing 75-86 record. No? Well how about 03 and the 66-95 season. It has to be the 04 seaon and going 71-91. I guess it truely was last year and the extra sporty 83-79 season.
