I don't know about you, but it seems like there are a lot more Mets fans coming out of the woodwork now that they're winning. It's kind of nice to see some Mets shirts now - used to be all Yankees around here.

I'm super impressed by the overall fan-friendly nature of the team as well. My son got to play on Citi Field in July as part of the Curtis Granderson camp. He got to take batting practice with him as well. Anyhow, this year has been a blast with them playing so well.




One of my favorite photos as well:

The fans coming out and acting like they're real fans and been supporting the team forever are just bandwagon fans. Probably why Yankee stadium is almost empty, they just changed their hats to the mets. Even though I doubt both teams make it past the first round.

But good for you guys winning the NL East and stuff. Good luck

That's probably true - it's just nice to not have my co-workers busting my chops everyday.

I just finished watching the Met/Brave game of 9/10.There were 35,000 fans who showed up dressed as empty seats, 15,000 were Met fans and 9 Brave fans. I've been a Met fan since 1962 opening day.

Been a really fun year - when we were rolling out Mayberry and Campbell in the 4 and 5 spots in the lineup back in mid-July, I never would have dreamed we would be where we are now. Went from a lineup with 4-5 almost sure outs every night to a lineup a few nights ago where Flores was hitting 8th - quite a swing!

Go Mets!

Dear Mets fans,

Congratulations on a great year thus far. Best wishes for a successful post-season.

I agree with most everything said so far. It's great being able to watch the younger players come along. I'm hoping their pitching will be able to keep them from repeating that horrible end of the '07 season. Even if they somehow don't make the playoffs this season, I'm enjoying each game this month as if it were the playoffs. Let's Go Mets.

Shaun- I forgot to give kudos to the great photos! Grandy is coming around. I love him in the lead-off spot. The walks are invaluable.
