I don't think "extremely poor" was an unfair description. The team has eight straight years of over seventy wins. If they make it a ninth this year (and it certainly looks like they will), that'll tie them for the longest such streak in team history. True, the Mets are better than they have been in the past. But seventy wins itself is certainly not "good," and I'm not uncomfortable with deeming seventy wins "poor." If folks don't want to support such a team, that's great. But it helps to keep perspective. Folks do want to support such a team. The problem is that tickets to that team are priced as if the team has a regular streak of seasons with 82 or more wins. Thanks for responding. Unfortunately, through no fault of yours, I've lost all taste for discussing this.
