The Mets didn't win the division in 2000. Do not question Jetnation.

And they did make the WS, which is by no means a disappointment.

It's completely irrelevant to the thread. They could have lost to the Royals for all I care; making the World Series is never a disappointment, and I wouldn't say their recent 5 years of disappointment are over until they make it again.

Quick Question.

Does anyone else think the Mets celebration last night was a little over the top?

I hope that the baseball gods don't punish them for that in the playoffs.

Then why does everybody say it's a disappointment for the Yanks?

What do you expect ? They rarely get to visit the postseason.

Hate to quote myself, but I have not read anything defending this behaviour.

A few factors to condiser when evaluating this celebration:

1) First Mets Division Title since 1988 (18 years)
2) A few vets had never been to the post season (Lo Duca, Delgado..etc)
3) They had waited a few games to celebrate (sweep in Pittsburg)
4)Lost of youngsters on team (Reyes, Wright, Millegdge)

So, it can all be explained. And no, i dont think it was over the top...
