1. It’s Simply Time / Competition

As all of Mets faithful know already, 2006 was the last year their team was in the playoffs. Actually, it was more than just the playoffs. They were in the NLCS.

Carlos Beltran not swinging at a big Adam Wainwright hook was the last memory of a Game 7 that seemed like it was destined for great things after the Endy Chavez robbery job earlier in the game.

After eight long seasons, it is now officially time for the New York Mets to do big things.

There’s been a whole lot of patient waiting. Waiting for these phenom arms to fully develop; for the Wilpons to spend more money; for the Yankees to slowly fade.

Although it still hasn’t happened yet, fans can now finally taste it. They can see that glimmer of a light at the end of the Sandy Alderson tunnel.

Alderson’s phenom-pitching plan is finally coming together as they remain just a few bats and a couple of speedy legs away from great things.

Only a few healthy comebacks and slight adjustments/acquisitions will get it done in 2015.

This pitching is that good.

Moreover, the idea that the Mets cannot compete with the pitching-less Chicago Cubs and the down San Francisco Giants for that second NL Wild Card is just not believable.

Let’s not forget how hot and cold the Nats have been all season.
