A F...I share the sentiments of Stubby & John. A FB up to Gordon, a clean scoop by Murph and the series ends on 5-3-2 DP at the plate...coulda, woulda, shoulda. Or as my dad once said, Schmelling maight have beaten Louis in that second fight if the Bomber hadn't got in 50 or 60 lucky punches.<br /><br />Great year. It even doesn't sting as much as 2000 for some reason I can't describe -- maybe it's just age, maybe I just appreciate more what the Royals do than the Yankees, dunno. Looking forward to the Hot STove.Hobiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161607087964191500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-89627418396828804992015-11-02T02:12:47.572-05:002015-11-02T02:12:47.572-05:00Kicking back here in Oz with a couple of quiet bee...Kicking back here in Oz with a couple of quiet beers reflecting on what's just happened.<br /><br />The initial intense disappointment. Chances to win the WS don't come around every day. Every mistake was punished. Hats off to KC for taking their chances. But you can't help wonder what might have been 'eh......<br /><br />Back to reality. It was a GREAT season. Who woulda thought when we had Mayberry and Campbell in the middle of the line up we'd be NL Champs? I was in NY when we fell under 500. How far away did the WS look then? All I was hoping for was a winning season. A pennant and a WS berth was far beyond my wildest dreams.<br /><br />We're all flat, disappointed, but crack a can, think back to Wilmer's tears, his walk off, Murph's DS and CS, Jacob, Noah and Harvey and toast your 2015 Mets. It was a helluva ride.<br /><br />Once the dust settles, I look forward to reading everyone's thoughts on 2016 and how we can go one better.<br /><br />LGM!!!!John Loobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350465659528804381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-35102482593390306602015-11-02T00:57:30.443-05:002015-11-02T00:57:30.443-05:00Well.....it's over. As gut wrenching as these...Well.....it's over. As gut wrenching as these losses have been (we should be up 3-2 and headed back to KC right now), I still want to extend my congratulations and sincere appreciation to the 2015 Mets. I don't think anybody expected us to get to the World Series this year. Few even expected us to make the post-season, I'm sure. As baseball seasons go, this one was the best we've had in a long time. Rest those arms, boys. We're going all the way next year.Stubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010142558613227433noreply@blogger.com
