There’s always next year

On the way out to Queens this morning, the normally sleepy crowd on the 7 train roused as we passed Shea Stadium, and audible grumbles over the Mets’ thwarted World Series dreams filled the car. Ah, disappointment is a bitter, bitter pill. Would be nice to bring home one more title before the New Mets Ballpark opens in 2009. 1986 feels like a very long time ago.

The Cardinals, who eliminated the Mets, ended up taking the Series in five games.
