Rise and Grind everyone. This morning’s get up and go post comes from you. Again. I liked where this exchange started and where it was headed.
MyasDaddy:
I still look at both of these teams and I am not impressed. What’s missing from us that they have? I just don’t get it.
LMazz13:
It’s not what those teams have, it’s what they don’t have. The Wilpons.

Everything that makes a team greater than the sum of its parts.
Managers who are entrusted to manage.
GM’s who make bold moves for guys like Hunter Pence, Tim Hudson and James Shields.
Hitters who put the ball in play and create runs.
Middle infielders who play good defense.
Depth, Heart, Soul, and the Intangibles.

Even with all the intangibles that Coyote listed, I still say we could be the Kansas City Royals just two years from now if all goes well. I see some parallels forming with the Mets that will make us Royals-like.

We could be better than they are by next year.
Fast Eddie
I agree we “could” be as good as the Royals by next year, but that still doesn’t mean we make it to the World Series like they did which is why I gave two years as a realistic goal…
