Woe is rooting for the New York Mets

Dear Carlos Beltran,

Please give us a break, the season is still 3 months away.

Sincerely,
The entire Mets fan base

The injury issues that made it almost impossible to root for the Mets last season have started early this year after CF Carlos Beltran underwent knee surgery that will cause him to miss the beginning of the season. Learning from experience I wouldn't expect to see Beltran take the field until closer to the start of june. It's just the way things work for guys when they put on a Mets uniform, they can't be healthy or consistent.

At this point I can only be optimistic and hope Carlos recovers well before I begin to start giving up on this team before we even get to spring training. I think it's appropriate that we Mets fans only got about a week to start getting excited for another season with the acquisition of OF Jason Bay and the hopeful bounce back of players like Beltran, Jose Reyes and Carlos Delgado who all missed significant portions of last season with nagging injuries and tanked the Mets' chances. I want to believe things can be different but the success the team showed in 2006 seems a long way away right now. For the moment I can only cross my fingers
