Mets Win!!! Mets Win!!! Mets Win!!!!

...the Division title. Okay, so that's maybe not super-exciting. Especially since they were a minimum of 15 games ahead of any of the other teams in the NL East. Still, I'm pleased. And don't Jose Reyes and David Wright look pleased as well:



Mmmm... the glory of sport. It should be noted that these two strapping lads are a big part of why the Mets are where they are. Their performances at Short Stop and 3rd Base, respectively, were consistantly rock-solid and, on many occassions, down right spectacular. Not to mention the fact that both of them have had not just hot bats, but hot bats at key moments. Which is what it's all about; coming through with a hit at the right time. Anyway, all of the Mets deserve their share of the credit, as well as an extra-large slice of the credit pie set aside for Willie Randolph, who has turned this team around in true Manager of the Year fashion. It's been a great season at Shea and I've been proud to count myself among the numbers in the stands. Cheering, eating peanuts, sipping a beer and looking out over Queens as the Amazin's walked the road that lead them here.

And I suppose there's nothing left to say but a big, hearty, back slapping congratulations to the '06 Mets.

See you in October!
