Chritter - your posts are welcome. you don't taunt or troll. Even the character known here as "Exposfan87" can post in character. I'm half expecting a post comparing this to the failure to bring back Marquis Grissom or Larry Walker when they became FAs after they left.
Hahaha, thanks. I understand the concern and appreciate the ear. If Mets fans are jerks here, they're no friends of mine. You'd think a decade of futility would inculcate a little sense of humility and a broader understanding of the long dynamics of the game. I'm an NL fan. I root for the Mets, they're my team. But in the years when the Mets were David Wright and his Merrie Band of Has-Beens, Never-Weres and Triple-A Rejects, I rooted for the Nats in the playoffs. The first game I ever saw in person was a Washington Senators game, when Ted Williams was managing, so I have a soft spot for D.C. baseball. I rooted for the Cubbies all this year. The NLCS was actually a painful experience for me, because I wanted a way for both teams to win.
But Larry Walker? Man, that was a huge mistake.
