We'll see if you can stand success, Bob, when the pressure is on. Til then, quoting here for all to see your famous definition of the most inspiring combination of words in the English language:
John -- We ended up living in Cascade, Colorado, 15 miles up into the mountains and across from Pikes Peak. Beautiful, but no Mets fans. Thanks for kind note and great Antlers recollection.
Once spent a couple of nights in the Antlers Hotel, to be told that it was from a room there that Kathering Lee Bates composed "America the Beautiful" while looking out her window at Pikes Peak. I'm thinking of what sort of identity crisis she'd be going through now living in America. As for the Mets' ongoing yearning for material success: I've often wondered what fun it is to be a Yankee fan and not be able to accept anything less that a World Series title. Disappointments build character--of which you have plenty.
I’ll find a way of dealing with success, if it should roll around. We used to say, wait till next year. But I don’t have many next years left. Bring on a championship, and I’ll deal with it.
This is a pretty tough spot you've got yourself into, Fred, and for once I'm stumped for an optimistic piece of advice. But it might help to recall that the thrill of victory doesn't always last very long. Remember how in '86 the best Mets team ever won it all and the fans were chanting, "Dynasty, dynasty!"? Then the fantasy immediately exploded and it turned out the team was on drugs or on their last legs or were communists or something, and the Mets dove back to lovable loserhood? Well, we can root for that to happen again!

With this payroll, they better.

Anybody, please, but the Hollywoods.
Money talks, no question, Joe. Question is: What's it saying?
Lew -- You have brought a bit of welcome despair and I am grateful.
Maybe Uncle Steve has his eye on buying the Presidency next…….”maybe next year”
Let's Go Mets! They will be AMAZING!
They always are.

LGM!
Early in the season I too am hopeful this will be the year that my Padres go all the way.
