The past four years have been very harrowing for all Mets fans; throughout this painful stretch I personally have been feeling a sort of deja vu. It took me a while to figure out why, but now I know. The 2006-2010 Mets are reminding me of the 1988-1992 Mets. Scary isn’t it? The 1988 Mets where dominant, the NL east race was over mid-summer, and they had the perfect mix of grizzled veterans...

The one he made in the ninth inning of tonight’s 6-4 win over the Giants was even better than his first effort.

One month into the 2010 season, Mets fans are still hopeful. ...
