So when A-Rod's contract clears, you basically give it to Harper, plus interest?

Can we trade rosters in 2 years?Only 2 more years to worry, than he will be our problem in the Bronx, with Bryce
All jokes and ribbing aside, can't be a pleasant sight for a Mets fan right before the season starts.
That's wonderful.
The next Jeets isn't walking through that door anytime soon. And, as we have been told lo these many years, a good team needs a leader w/Intagibles to make it a great team.
Enjoy being an east coast Cubs for the next 50
Frankly, I think a dose of reality would be good for Mets fans. I've seen quite a few on here talking about how awesome they're going to be in 2016. They had a great season in 2015, no doubt, but it was due in large part to playing in a historically weak division. Their regular opponents consisted of an underperforming Nats team, a pile of shit Marlins team, and two other teams that weren't even major league caliber.
I've seen Mets fans acting as if a playoff berth is a foregone conclusion. Should the Nats rebound, or one of the shitter teams take an unanticipated leap forward and provide any competition for the Mets, 2016 won't be the cakewalk 2015 was for the Mets.

The 2015 Mets might have been a +.500 team if they were in any of the five other divisions.
Yeah, yeah, I'm aware; actually knowing how things occurred bores the shit out of you.
I agree with 99% of what youre saying...Take it from a Yankee fan living in NYC, Mets fans have become what they despised in Yankee fans for most of their lives.....And thats without winning a title
Bro, we RUN dis bizzitch now. Just look at the threads on the front page of the Baseball Forum: it's all Mets right now. You guys can't stop talking about the awesomeness
I agree with 99% of what youre saying...Take it from a Yankee fan living in NYC, Mets fans have become what they despised in Yankee fans for most of their lives.....And thats without winning a title
And i agree the NL East is historically bad
Howevah, where i do dis-agree is i think it will be a cakewalk into the playoffs for them again this season....When they get there, id expect the Cubs and Giants specifically, to be a handful.....But as you said, the Braves and Phillies arent major league rosters......The Marlins just seem like that organization where something will always go wrong, not that they are good enough if nothing does.....And im not a believer at all in the Nationals, and think its plausible that they got worse than last season
Lost Zimmerman and Desmond, and are still fielding the washed up Werth and Zimmerman, a talented, but injury prone Rendon....Dont like the lineup, and dont like much on that staff behind Scherzer and Straus
You could be right. I'm certainly not expecting much competition out of the NL East for the Mets, but stranger things have happened.
If I were to choose, I'd probably take the Mets to take the NL East in 2016, but that's more based on their lack of completion than it is their talent level. The Marlins, Braves and Phillies combined for 285 losses last year, and a case could be made that they collectively over-performed. A division like that tends to make decent teams look a lot better than they are.

Oh I hear ya, ive been telling Pats fans for 15 years that much of their success is a result of an awful division for pretty much all of those 15 years
