Outstanding post Met-in-PR!! We're in agreement and hold the same
aspirations for the future. Funny, how I read an article earlier today
that thus far in the offseason the Mets have been acting like the
Yankees, and the Yankees have been acting like the Mets. Their is still
quite a bit of offseason to go but I think under Omar's watch the days
of the Mets being the laughingstock of MLB are finally over.
