They'll be better this year but our expectations have been lowered. Look what Knicks fans (of which I am one) have endured but at least management finally had the guts to say - we're going to stink for a while and then get under the cap and we can do some things. Don't like it but I get it.

I've been wanting to run their marketing for years. You hit it right on the head but I think your #4 should actually be the #1. What they truly lack is pitching...and 2-3 good relief pitchers too. I think they lost more games in the '08 and '09 seasons due to blown saves than anyone else in the league! Hasn't been the same since Jon Franco retired! :) I’ve been a Met fan my entire life (although Marc is a Yankee fan and we do have our baseball battles!)
