All you doubters and haters can have your say, but having watched this team for over 50 years, I am confident this year's Mets are for real. Mets in six games over the Angels come this October.

First time since I've been following the Mets, watching alongside one of surely their oldest fans...my partner Sue's Mom, who's 101 -- first time this morning when The Times features three (3), yes count 'em, three articles in the on-line sports page -- devoted to our lowly, forever losing Mets. If words could work, they'd surely win. But games have to be won one at a time, and that's hard work and these guys have to go out and do it for all 162 games, no mean feat. I wish them well, every one of them, and for them to stay healthy. Because we'll be around at the end of the season and hope we can be proud of their accomplishments!

As a Mets fan for the past 40 years, I for one like their chances to grab a play-off spot this season. Pitching, pitching, pitching. That and a few scratch runs each game, and you can at least avoid long losing streaks, which is how you stay competitive into at least September. Also, with parity the way it is these days, and one-third of all teams now making the playoffs, it doesn't take a huge turnaround to reach the playoffs. They just have a win 3-5 more games than some of the other competitive teams in their league.

Until the Wilponzi Scheme of mismanagement is removed from the House of Harvey, Met suffering will continue unabated.
I have complete confidence in the Wilponzi's to drive their new-and-improved baseball car right into Flushing Bay.

I wouldn't say "brims." I'd say "cautiously approaches."

I have the utmost confidence in the Wilpons to screw this up. The season is young.

i believe the mets would be better off with a manager who knew how to fill a lineup card properly.
juan hitting 7th? curtis leading off? david 2nd? OY!

For all of us old and I mean old Met fans it would be nice to see the Mets have a winning season. I watched the team in spring training and they looked O.K. not great but O.K. Their infield looked weak, no shortstop yet, Murphy goofed on his anti gay , comments and still can't field, Duda looks better then Ike Davis, the outfield looked pretty good but it's pitching seems top notch so far. We shall see. All in all it's just baseballl and I'm glad to have it back . Let's go Mets.

Matt Harvey most electrifying? Don't you have to steal bases, hit homers and make diving catches to be electrifying?

The Mets do look like they have some promise this year, health (as always) permitting. Getting off to a good start in April is important, especially for teams used to losing. The team is drawing immense strength from Matt Harvey as well.
