In other words my fellow Mets fans if the Yankees win we win

If the Yankees win the World Series this year, they will prove that it is possible to rebuild a team in just one offseason by making solid baseball decisions. Decisions that are based more on what will translate into wins, rather than economics. The entire baseball world will be watching, so it will be impossible for the Wilpons to not take notice.Sure, much of the talk during March and April was that the Yankees overpaid for the players they wanted, but after seeing what transpired this season, can anyone argue that the Yankees new acquisitions weren't worth every pennyAnything less than a World Series championship will make what the Yankees did last offseason look like nothing more than frivolous spending, not seen with the Yankees since George Steinbrenner would throw money at over-the-hill players during the 1980s. If the Yankees do win it all, however, it will not only give the Mets management the perfect blueprint for this offseason, but also put pressure on the team to right their ship as quickly as their cross-town rivals did.In other words, my fellow Mets fans, if the Yankees win, we win.Maybe the disappointment of this season, or the past three seasons for that matter, have made me a bit delirious, but as I see it, the best hope the Mets have for a successful 2010 directly coincides with a successful 2009 for the Bronx Bombers.So join me, my fellow Mets fans, in cheering on the Yankees this postseason.
