... I'm a big Mets fan! I started following baseball around 1986 and became a fan of the team led by Gooden and Strawberry. I later became a Mariners fan the year of their first winning record in team history, but don't think I'm a bandwagon fan, I've stuck with both teams through good times and bad. Any other Mets fans here? Judging from Ghoti's avatar, I'm guessing that there are probably a few around here. I'd be happy to talk about them with people who are closer to the team and follow them more closely. I just started a thread about their recent streak. Is this a team that needs something like a managerial change to spark and motivate them? Can they find another spark with the trade deadline past? Come talk to me about my Mets and tell me what people are saying in the NY/NJ area. Go Mets!
