The 2006 New York Mets season was the 45th regular season for the Mets. They went 97–65 and won the National League East, a feat the team would not repeat until 2015. They were managed by Willie Randolph. They played home games at Shea Stadium. They used the marketing slogan of "The Team. The Time. The Mets." throughout the season. On September 18, the Mets clinched their first NL East title since 1988, in the process breaking the Atlanta Braves' streak of 11 straight NL East titles.
In the postseason, the Mets swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS, but they lost to the 83-win St. Louis Cardinals in the NLCS in seven games.
