Was out and about today but saw the Mets had a nice win. The Mets team that comes to mind a little with this year is 2005 for me. I saw they started that year 0-4 as well. Willie, Pedro, and Beltran's first year with the team. I remember that year arguably being a success and led to the foundation for 2006. Realistically that's what I hope for this year's club. But I mean they've bee showing some grit of late.
Perhaps this is an unpopular opinion but the whole retiring Doc's number doesn't really do much for me. And I'm person that loves nostalgia. I guess to be fair I only recall Doc like a little as a Met and it was toward the end of his career in the early 90s. I think then his issues were spilling out on the field. I remember him more as a Yankee. And that's the team I think he retired with. Mets Hall of Fame for sure was deserved for Doc. But I mean I can't help but think what more could have been with Doc. I know we are all flawed creatures but just not really feeling checking out the ceremony. Not actually as a Met but Rick Aguilera had at least if not a better career than Doc. And he was the 5th starter on a lot of those clubs.
