Comments on: And the Winner Is … http://www.metstoday.com/hot-stove/2007/and-the-winner-is-2/ New York Mets news, game recaps, opinion, and analysis Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:07:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Micalpalyn http://www.metstoday.com/hot-stove/2007/and-the-winner-is-2/#comment-8602 Micalpalyn Fri, 07 Dec 2007 16:50:00 +0000 http://www.metstoday.com/07-08-offseason/2007/and-the-winner-is-2/#comment-8602 I think both years have their own magic. 2006 Lives long because of the long wait for the post season. 2007 was ONLY disappointing because of poor play down the stretch. Plus my first poist on this site was on 'planet randolph'. As I am verbalising my thoughts, i think the value added is if you added an 'editorial' or summary to each story. Possibly even seperated the game blogs from the trades, miscellaneous blog stories (such as planet randolph) and response to newspaper fodder. Remember 1998? The Mets collapsed then too losing their last 5, 3 against a resting braves team. The next two yrs (almost 3) were glory. I think 2007 will (eventually) be seen as a brief set back in a dynasty. Of all the Mets that needed this lesson I think RANDOLPH needed it the most. I think both years have their own magic.

I'll get working on it now and hopefully have something worthwhile before the end of the year. BTW, I've also been toying with the idea of putting together a downloadable book (PDF format) comprised of all the posts on MetsToday from the magical 2006 season. Of course it will be free to download. Would anyone be interested in such a book? I can do it for either 2006 or 2007, but I figured 2006 would be happier reading. Something to get us through to spring training. Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Thanks for the idea! I’ll get working on it now and hopefully have something worthwhile before the end of the year.

I was wondering if you might be able to put together a post or a series of posts that run down the 10 best Mets moments of 2007, what with the end of the year approaching and all. I know it would entail a lot of work so I completely understand if you choose to pass. I just thought we could all use the chance to reminisce and actually feel good about our team for a change. You up for the challenge? Joe:
