I know I've gotten a lot of shit over the years for being negative, and even I can admit I've been irrational at times. But this year made me understand that there is light at the end of the tunnel. There's no guarantee how long the window of contention will stay open, so I've just embraced this run while I can and have accepted it for what it was.
You look at comments on Mets blogs and you'll see loads of people talking about how this year was their chance and how they have a feeling the Mets will find a way to not make the playoffs again in the next few years with this pitching staff. The average Mets fan is wayyyyyy more jaded than even I am. I have no idea what the Mets will do in the next few years, but I do know that the very idea of having a guy who throws 96 MPH with his left arm like Matz as our fucking #4 (maybe even #5 once Wheeler is back) starter is simply outrageous. Win or lose I can't wait to see these guys pitch the next few years.
