It doesn't take much for us to rip on the New York Mets. That task became even easier once the Mets faded from the National League playoff picture.

But, the Mets didn't have such a horrible year. They finished above .500, with a record of 83-79.

Now, there's something positive to build on. Anything short of a playoff appearance next season should be considered a failure. For as much as this team spends on players, it has every reason to expect a winner. No excuses now!
