Kings of New York

1969 1971 1972 1973 1984 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 2015 Those are years in which the Mets finished or will finish with both the better regular-season record and the higher divisional standing than the MFYs. (Not lasting longer in the postseason would kind of take the shine off this accomplishment.)

It's been 25 years. That sure explains a lot. Fucking Wilpon(s). What a disgrace.

They can't control years when the Yankees also finish first. The Mets had a better record and finished first in 2006.

We're talking about a 25 year period. Do you know what the odds are of that happening? That 25 year run should never happen. Not in our lifetimes. Not in 10 of our lifetimes. 1990's no coincidence. That's around the time Fred more or less started to run this franchise. How do you make excuses for that?

1984-1990. That's when they owned this town. People forget (or are too young to remember).

Mets have achieved something. Let's not speak of disgrace.

But let's congratulate Fred Wilpon for his second first place finish in almost 30 years. We should all be thankful that he was probably read the riot act and more or less strongarmed into hiring someone like Sandy Alderson who wasn't gonna take any shit at all from Fred's stupid son, or else none of this season would probably be happening.

It's a victory party. If it's not enough a victory for you, I understand. Don't come.
