Met fans take heart.  Even though you have gone through another difficult past season this might make your optimism stir a little. A number of years ago a Met team finished 9th not far from 10^th and last in the National League (there was no Divisions at the time). With not a lot of reason to believe that much would change, the following season started with little hope that things would be different. But, as fate would have it, a new year brought a new season. And, what a difference a season makes. The 1969 Mets made history and the 1969 World Series victory is still talked about today.  Miracles do happen.  Met fans—Keep The Faith!
