OK, Mets fans, who would win a seven-game series between the 1986 Mets and 2006 Mets? Assume Pedro and Floyd are healthy and give the 1986 Mets homefield advantage since they won 108 games.
Here are the matchups:
Game 1: Pedro vs. Doc
Game 2: Glavine vs. Ojeda
Game 3: El Duque vs. Darling
Game 4: Trachsel vs. El Sid
x-Game 5: Pedro vs. Doc
x-Game 6: Glavine vs. Ojeda
x-Game 7: El Duque vs. Darling
x-If necessary
And if anyone out there has Strat-o-matic or some sort of computer baseball game and wants to play this series out, e-mail me the results at arieber@newsday.com and I'll post them in a future Mets blog.

'06 is a better hitting club, but '86's pitching is so much better.
'86 wins the series 4-1.
With one wardrobe, Kevin Mitchell put five animals on the endangered species list.
'86 - they hit better, field better and pitch much better!
I have an announcement:
It has been almost one long month since my Dear Met Friend-- Zoe ,has posted on this site. To her I am offering on olive branch, also to Moby as well. I promise, never ever to insult her on this site or insult her stupid book on this site. In return, all I ask is for a pair of her freshly worn shoes. Socks too. Lets give peace a chance.
Gotta go with the 86 Mets...4-2 series win for the 86 Mets...Hopefully the 06 Mets will change our minds when they win the World Series this year!
I think the 2006 line-up is stronger but the 86 line up was more consistent. 86 pitching much better. I give 86 edge on defense because of Keith and Carter. 86 had more killer instinct. 86 Mets in 5 games
Gotta go with 1986 4-1.
I do love those 1986 uniforms, though. That was almost eerie.
Baseball like it oughta be.Gotta give it to the 1969 Mets.
NO!! 1969 was NOT an option.Just for that Junebug is now being PUNISHED!!The correct answer is 1988.(Except for that Dodgers series, of course)
NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE WOULD BEAT THE 1986 WORLD
CHAMPION NEW YORK METS.4-3
'86 Mets. No contest. The pitching was far superior to the '06 team.
i think that the the new mets of 06 are just cause they are and a lot of people know its true
