It's not really an argument. They would have to bring up some good points eventually. Not sure how this started anyways. I was talking up the Mets one second and the next they're upset with me? :dontknow:

I guess some Mets fans are still affected by that little brother syndrome.

I'm guessing a few of my fellow Mets fans didn't like it when you said "Division titles don't mean as much as they used to.". That seems to be how it all started.

If you were in my position you'd feel the same way. Now that the streak is over there's no feeling of "you HAVE to win the division." I'm perfectly content with a wild card berth. I would love to win the division, but next year's Braves team is going to have to rely on some old guys staying healthy and some young guys continuing to improve. The only big guys in the middle of that are Teixeira and Hudson.

Actually it seems like Mets fans are mad at the Braves for stealing Tom Glavine.

They basically replaced Glavine with the best pitcher in the game. Actually it's more like they traded two prospects for the best pitcher in the game because they're getting two draft picks for losing Glavine.

There's no way Mets fans are upset about that.

High 5 wrote:I never said the Mets "always collapse." My post is only wrong if you're statisfied with:

1) being tied for 3rd place in the division
2) losing the NLCS when you're the favorites
3) having one of the worst collapses in MLB history

Considering the encounters I have had with Mets fans at Turner Field in recent seasons, I doubt I'm wrong.




High 5 wrote:Wow. Even when I break it down enough for a 3 year old to comprehend you still don't understand it. Nothing much more I can do. Read over my posts a few times and see if anything clicks. :dontknow:



5,

I thought I covered this, but since you can't seem to comprehend, I'll try again.

2005 was a 13 game improvement over 2004. Given a string of losing seasons and given that 2005 was a rebuilding year with a rookie SS, rookie 3rd baseman and a shaky rotation with no closer - yes, I was more than happy with tied for 3rd.

2006 - there's 2 ways to look at loosing a close 7 game NL Championship series, for a young team with numerous injuries. You can say "we were favored", but since we didn't have Pedro or El Duque - 2 of our top 3 starters that year, I don't agree with your opinion that this was something to be disapointed in.

2007 - no comment.

but you need to stop dragging 3 seasons into one horrible end to 1 season.


Unless your point is something so vague as "you didn't win the series, ha ha", then you are wrong. The mets had respectible seasons that I was happy with in both 05 and 06. Now, was I disaopinted that we lost the NLCS - sure, but, dude, by that logic, 29 teams are disapointed every year, and braves are not one to talk when we ask how many world series they've won recently - and how many they were favored to win.


I understand your point, but I think you are being ridiculous.
Bill Clinton slept with an intern. A consenting adult and he got impeached and nearly disbarred as a result. Donald Trump went to parties showcasing underaged women brought in as basically prostitutes, and he says it's nothing.

Double standard?

I'll go one better.

I'd hapily take 2 first rounders over TOm Glavine right now. :D - though I think, technically they are sandwich picks, after the first round, before the 2nd, but I might be wrong about that.

Still, I liked Glavin well enough, he was bad when he came here, but he worked his way through it and pitched OK. He gave us some good playoff performances too, but he was Mr. 6 innings. I got awful tired of that and he wasn't great this past year - never mind the horrible last game.


I'd wish glavine well if he wasn't on the braves. Given that he's on the braves, I wish him a 2-15 season with a 7.85 era. :D
