As much as I loved the 1986 team, and the 1999 team, and the 2015 team, to me the "real" Mets are guys with names like Seaver, Koosman, Jones, Agee, Grote, McGraw, Kranepool, Harrelson, and Garrett.
You know what we haven't seen in this forum for a long time? The phrase "Bring him up now. He can't be any worse that what we already have." I don't think that's true, of course, but it used to be a common refrain.
If rooting for the Mets brought me pain I would stop doing it. Sure, there's been some frustration along the way, but I have no angst about the Mets at all. None. At all.

They should cut to Steve Gelbs and just show him standing there silently for about a minute or so. This time Jose decided to throw home with the bases loaded!

Even on this play where Bruce bobbled the ball at first and there's a challenge to the call at the bag Gary and Ron aren't saying anything. They're showing multiple angles of the replay, but none of the shots show whether or not the umpire called safe or out.
