Some of the sports writers have compared this team to the 1984 team. I am old enough to have actually followed the 1984 team and I can tell you I never felt about the 1984 team like I do about this team. The 1984 team made you feel real good about the future. This team makes you feel like next year the slogan will be "Come Watch the New, New Mets. Next Year is This Year." Right now the slogan is "Last Year is This Year.  Come Watch the Same Old Mets."
