Was it two or three seasons ago that they blew 13 games in a row?

I've been a Mets fan ever since the first pitch was thrown.(wasn't Yogi the first manager) We use to take the #7 to the park,eat dogs,drink some brewskies and yell at the umps. It was just fun. We never saw it as a business till Steinbrener bought the Yanks. That changed the feeling of the game for us, The war changed us forever. My move to Texas changed me even deeper. Last year I went back to my old stomping grounds and took my son(who is 25) to a game. During the 5th he turned to me and told me what a great time he was having,eating dogs, drinking sum brewskies and connecting with me. I don't remember who won the game, it didn't matter. He had helped me change again.
