You know, we have this recency biased situation where it feels like this is the biggest thing.

This is the worst thing. This is the biggest thing.

I'm not going to say that if the Mets missed the playoffs this year, it would be the most disappointing season that I've experienced as a Mets fan relative to expectations.

You know, it was just like one of those deals.

You know, even it was tough because the circumstances were completely different after what happened in September in 2001.

But that 2001 season after NLCS World Series, they come out and they have a really,

really tough start to the season.

They start to get hot, but then the Braves just smack them around and Brian Jordan.

So I'm thinking about all these things.

But this one, I mean, to go from the NLCS, what the Mets were building last year, to go out and sign Juan Soto,
