We are not looking for Einsteins but players who play aggressively and enthusiastically. He is still the straw that stirs the Mets. Reyes is the most exciting player in baseball.

Especially Mc Carthy, who just talks too much. The most criticism we have to endure is the constant managing and pointing out of the deficiency of the Met players by the radio broadcasters.

Fri, 15 May 2009 20:53:08 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=4866#comment-19568 This is a golden era in Mets baseball, as sad as that might be. How many times have the Mets had 4 winning seasons in a row? This is the fourth time. They had a winning record from 1969 to 1973, from 1984 to 1990 and from 1997 to 2001 before this time. The Mets have been to the playoffs 7 times since 1962 - SEVEN TIMES! If you only want a team that wins all the time, go across town. This is a golden era in Mets baseball, as sad as that might be.

To access any of our blogs you must click on each post individually. You will find a discrepancy like that with all magazine stle formats. But I do agree with you Metsies. Sometimes though a tough loss can bring a little bit of emotion mixed in with that objectivity. But I believe that all Mets fans love the team and show it in different ways.

That's a pretty big discrepancy. How is that possible? That means each unique user averages 10 hits? Do you have SiteMeter available for all people to see? Anyways, there's nothing wrong with negative or angry posts, as long as they're based in objective and rational thought. Saying "TRADE WRIGHT" or "FIRE MANUEL" after 10 games is not rational. Pointing out bad trades/roster moves or making statistically based negative posts is perfectly OK. 10,000 unique visitors but 100,000 hits? That’s a pretty big discrepancy. How is that possible?

I have never seen a point so well articulated as what was written today. It gave me pause to think about my attitude regarding the Mets. Too often we (myself included) do not see the forest for the trees. I love this team! Always have and I always will. Thank you for a well placed kick in the pants. This is a good team and it is our team. I too am a life long Mets Fan. Been one sine 1967. I have never seen a point so well articulated as what was written today.

I get lambasted all the time and so does this site, but we really couldn't give a rats ass what anyone thinks. We'll call them as we see them as we always have done. You don't get 100K hits a day, and 10K unique users a day, because people aren't interested in what we have to say. All of our writers have loads of varied opinions and most of them are all positive. Few readers ever comment on the Minor League reports, Series and Game previews, and all our graphics which express our true love for the Mets and are alwasy positive and upbeat. Instead they take the one out of ten angry (but not negative) posts after a game and decide that's what we're all about. You are one of our oldest readers and though you rarely ever agree with me, we both understand each others passion for the team and we don't need anyone to tell us what type of Mets fans we should be. Rob aka Tie Dyed is one of several bloggers who post nothing but positive blogs each and every week. Great blog as always Rob! In the words of the original Joe D, (Joe Dirt of course, sorry Skankee fans!) Keep On Keepin' On! Hey Kay, never take the lambasting personally.

Obviously you do a much better job of it. I too, have been a fan as long as you have and maybe living through some of those seasons have seasoned me and when I read the comments after a loss it makes want to stick a needle in my eye. THANK YOU!!!! Hey Rob - we lived the "YA GOTTA BELIEVE" and were lucky enough to have seen Tug McGraw, maybe if more that post here had they'd have more of the YGB spirit. YOU ROCK!!!! If I ever get a chance to meet you at a game - a cold one is one me!!! CHEERS LETS GO MET - YA GOTTA BELIEVE!!!! THANK YOU for articulating what I get lambasted for. Obviously you do a much better job of it.
