1988 ... the Mets lost in the NLCS to the Dodgers and the Yankees finished 5th in the AL East.
In 2006, the Mets went 97-65, tying the Yankees for the best record in baseball. They then went 6-4 in the postseason, good enough to go home after a devastating game 7 loss in the NLCS.

Yes. The Yankees defeated the Mets 5-3 today.
The 1986 Mets went 108-54 in the regular season, and 8-5 in the postseason.
The last time the Mets swept the Yankees was a series at Yankee Stadium in '08. Originally from May 16-18, it was played on May 17, 18, and June 27 due to a rainout on the 16th.
The Mets' most wins in the regular season is 108 (with 54 losses), in 1986. Including the postseason the Mets won 116 that year, which at the time stood as the highest total since the 1906 Cubs. This accomplishment is somewhat misleading (and therefore widely ignored). Before 1969 there was no League Championship Series, and in 1975 (when the Reds won 108 regular season games, the LCS, and the World Series) the LCS was a best of 5 series. The 1998 Yankees, with the benefit of 3 postseason rounds, managed a remarkable 125-50 record including the postseason. They went 114-48 in the regular season and 11-2 in the postseason.

No the Yankees have more money to spend and are a better team. The Yankees have beaten the Mets in the World Series, the subway series. The Yankees are probably the best team in baseball, because they have the most money to spend hiring great players.
