July, i dont think there was a soul expected them to be here. No. You can understand sometimes you have to go through this pain to see that vision down the road. You look at the royals, lost last year, and come back and win championships. When you see the power championship that they have, young studs, the game is young. These guys throw good. Saw them mow down chicago cubs, sweep them. People thought this is their year. But they have a lot to keep their head high. Only one team end of the year is champion. The mets have a bright future. The mets have nothing to hold their heads down for except they didnt play that well and gave away the world series. Too many defensive mistakes, blown save in a key situation. They were beaten by a team destined to win the world series. One win from winning last year, lost to the giants, got better as a team, came back, played like champions all year. Got it done in five games. Looking at a World Championship team. No one wig discredit what Kansas City

You want to land into the wind but you certainly want to be landing into the wind when the runway has something on it like snow or ice or water. And we may find that that becomes a contributing cause to the accident. How much grip do air
