The New York Mets are members of the National League East Division. The other teams in that division are the Nationals, Marlins, Phillies, and my favorite team the Braves. Last year the New York Mets finished first in that division with a record of 90 and 72. That means that they won .556 percent of their games. The New York Mets are not the best team in the MLB but they were pretty good this year. Since they won their division they got to go to the play-offs. Winning their division might sound good but this year the NL East was horrible.Only two teams were above .500. Their first season was in 1962. That season the New York Mets only won 40 games. My favorite team in the MLB are the Atlanta Braves. And those of you who have read any of my other post know that the Braves and New York Mets are rivals. That is one of the reasons I do not like the New York Mets. The other reason I don’t like the New York Mets is because they are from New York. The only time I would ever route for the New York Mets is if they were playing the Yankees or the Red Sox. The New York Mets have won 2 World Series. The last one they won was in 1986. This year the New York Mets made it to the World series after a hitting streak by Daniel Murphy. They eventually lost to the Kansas City Royals. To be truthful I see them winning a World Series sometime soon though. This is because the New York Mets have some good players like Curtis Granderson, David Wright, and one of the best pitchers named Matt Harvey. These are just a few of the many talented players in the Mets organization. Over time the team will get better by getting better players including pitchers, but they will still have their veterans.
