Ever since the Mets went quietly (that's an understatement) Wednesday night in Kansas City, the big storyline has been this: the 1986 Mets are one of the few teams to come back from an 0-2 hole to win the World Series.
It's something to hang our hats on just from the standpoint that it can be done (of course, the 2000 Mets went down 0-2 and lost in five), but let's all be honest, the 2015 Mets are NOT the 1986 Mets.
For those of you not old enough to remember, the 86 Mets were a gritty, gutty, never-say-die group.
