1970 WS Preview:

In 1967, the New York Mets played the Minnesota Twins in the world series and we lost in 7 games when Harmon Killebrew cranked one out in the 9th inning in that unbelievable seventh game!
The Mets then went on to lose that game and the world series in 16 innings!
I think we have a better team than that one.
This time, the California Angels are the opponent in the fall classic.
I still have the best pitching in the Majors and we are hitting the ball very well.
Bill Russell is back from injury and i think he will make a difference for us, even though Carl Taylor did what he could in the outfield with Rose AND Russell injured.
Woodie Fryman is the CAL ace, and they have hitters such as Cleon Jones, Bob Watson and Jim Fregosi.
They won 98 games to our 96, so they will have the home field.
I feel good about this series, but i also felt good in 1967!
The question is...
Will i STILL be feeling good when THIS series is OVER?
