To borrow from Winston Churchill:
"I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our NL East prominence, to ride out the storm of injury, and to outlive the menace of Philadelphia, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.
At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of Mets fans-every man of them. That is the will of the fanbase and the nation. The offense and the defense, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native Citi Field soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.
Even though large tracts of the National League and many old and famous franchises have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Phillies and all the odious apparatus of the Atlanta Braves, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight at home, we shall fight in San Fransisco next to the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in St. Louis, we shall defend Long Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches of Miami, we shall fight in Dodger Stadium, we shall fight in Wrigley Field and in Cincinatti, we shall fight on that stupid hill the Astros have in center field; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this season or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Mets fans beyond the seas, armed and guarded by Gary Keith and Ron, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New York Mets, with all their power and might, step forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."
