When the playoffs started, a friend asked me if I thought the Mets had what it took to win the World Series. I told him I didn’t know, that I was happy with them just reaching the playoffs. He was outraged (as Phillies fans tend to get), saying you have to seize every opportunity, that you cannot be happy with just getting to the post-season. I disagreed. Now that they Mets have lost the World Series, I have to say I still disagree with his premise. And I think most Mets fans feel the same way.
