Other Met News: Johan against Strasburg today-wish I could watch the game. Only option is to record and not listen to FAN on my way home from work. Incredibly upset about Wright, but Met karma this year is much better than in the past and hopefully it is just a week and not a long term DL visit. Ike had about a bad a first week as you can have and the Mets were still 4-1---hope for the future.

1969 New York Mets World Series
We have redesigned our web page to show a video bar of the highlights of the 1969 World Series. If you still get goose bumps when you see Cleon Jones make that final catch then this video bar is made for you. I watched it a few minutes ago and I screamed out, 'Way to Go Koos' Good thing I was far enough away from everyone else in my family.
Check it out on the left side of the blog for the highlights. In the mean time, less then a month till pitchers and catchers and the 2012 Mets are given about the same chance as the 1969 Mets. Hope springs eternal in the off season.
