@MichaelSalfino Also, in both of those cases, the conference finals were wars of attrition - full, brutal death matches.

“Mickey Mouse is my friend! Not the Mets!” - my toddler, just now.

Ohhh buddy, you are wise beyond your years. Also, you have no idea...

[John Pette @johnpette]

@MichaelSalfino Even more striking in person. Saw him at a card show last year and again last month (he somehow looks less rough now than last year). You’d really think he was a ‘69 Met, not an ‘86 Met.

This feels like a scene that was cut from Back to the Future II because it bombed with test audiences.

@MichaelSalfino I was starting to think I was the only one who understood this.

[John Saponaro @johnsaponaro]

The section of Mets fans who REFUSE to learn anything new (advanced statistics), shame higher education (“boy genius”) & think using all of the information at your disposal is a sign of foolishness (analytics), are a *PERFECT* microcosm for why America is where it is.

@AlbaneseLaura The punk album was way more interesting.

[John Pette @johnpette]

@MichaelSalfino My assessments of the Mets’ actions generally line up with yours. I’m not on the all-emotion stupid-take train that most fans seem to by be on. Do you think there is enough available on the free agent market to field a championship caliber team (and who they are willing to sign)?

@ChristianDMZ We were 10 years old and yet, well aware of how dumb that title was.

@MichaelSalfino I went through the exact same emotional progression.

[Howie Rose @HowieRose]

I think we can safely say that the @Mets are in really good hands. From committed ownership to David Stearns finding pieces that fit perfectly to Carlos Mendoza in complete control belying his rookie status the present as well as the future is really bright. Solid top to bottom.

[John Pette @johnpette]

@HMittelmark I think the latter and I think it's coming from "revels in".
