They really didn't have to, but I appreciated the understanding. Even the Yankee fans were respectful for the day. Given a little distance, I'm grateful for a hell of a year. The Mets played in the World Series. The entire country was talking about the Mets for the better part of a month. I mean, who wouldn't have signed up for that on April 1st? They lost, but they lost to a clearly better team. The easy demolition of the Cubs kind of hid the flaws we all knew this team had. The Royals exposed every single one of those flaws and beat the Mets fair and square. There weren't bad calls or disputed plays that turned the tide, they just played better. But from July 31st to November 1st, we were treated to some of the best baseball in Mets history. Won the division and two playoff series. Played on the national stage and weren't embarrassed. Had some pretty awesome moments, too. So while it still hurts a bit, there's lots of good stuff to take away from this. But yeah, I wish there was a game tomorrow. And the day after that, and the day after that. The good thing is, I'm saying that a month later than I usually do. All of this. Plus, I feel a lot better now that Dusty Baker is in our division.

Granderson.

Ah, the offseason thread. (Sigh.)

Dude! Good times. Looking forward to it.

I don't know about Wright 4. I kinda like Wright 2. Granderson Wright Duda d'Arnaud Conforto Flores Herrera Lagares Harvey And yeah, screw the DH.

Long ago I realized that posting here is the only thing that takes some of the sting away after a tough loss. Yes, definitely. And in fact, sitting in the ballpark watching the Royals celebrate, it wasn't until I turned on my phone to the CPF that I welled up a bit. Love all you crazy kids.

My job is to keep it orderly and cut it off when appropriate.) The G started it by saying, "OK, we all need to be really nice to Dave today. He had a rough night after the Mets lost the World Series." My fandom is apparently known in the upper levels of state government. Everyone's consciously avoiding my office today too. Possibly because I'm threatening anyone who comes by with thunder sticks.

This place is a morgue right now.

GREETINGS FROM A BASEBALL GAME. IN NOVEMBER. love, Seawolf, El Segundo Escupidor, Ceetar, DDad, and MF

We'll see you all there. Wearing my old CPF shirt tonight.

You bet your ass I believe. Just give me tonight. We'll worry about Tuesday on Tuesday.

One game at a time, as they say. You want to be the ace, Matt Harvey? Then make it so tonight. We'll be in centerfield, screaming our heads off.

And we had the Carter 2HR/Conforto 2HR in Game 4 going here too. Dammit, Mets.

Well, kids. That's one. Well done.

I say go to Gilmartin and have Familia in after the second baserunner.

Up six with two outs in the eighth, I'm okay putting one in Moustakas's ear here.

Fundies.

Come on, big guy. Get through this.

I am the nervous.
