2020 NY Mets Season

Bottom line - from the small sample size that we can draw from - leagues playing in a bubble (NBA and NHL) seem to be working out pretty well so far. Leagues that don't play in a bubble (MLB) is experiencing much more difficulty.

Football, just by nature of how the game is played, would seem to generate more potential issues than any of the other major sports. Adding a "non bubble" environment to the equation, makes it more susceptible to COVID concerns IMO. I just can't see the NFL successfully making it through an entire season.

By the way, MLB is exploring the possibility of utilizing a bubble type format for the playoffs

Doom and gloom. Didn't the Phillies just get swept by the Marlins? And we lose three to them. Looks like it's going to be a long season. Kudos to Guillorme and his start. Matz and the home run ball. The runnners are on base waiting to score and our clutchless hitters are getting worse if that's even possible.

I watched my first Mets game of the season today (just can't get into it), and it looked like same old same old. Agree that the Mets are making a short season-looong!

Did they all drive in separate cars from NY to Phil for the w/e? The Cardinals rented 41 cars so everyone could drive from St. Louis to Chicago for 3 with Cubs and 3 with Sox. They have missed a lot of games so far and are playing 55 games in 44 days; assuming no more postponements. Crazy "year".
 
Tonight's Mets-Marlins game has been postponed due to a positive COVID-19 test in the Mets organization, a source confirmed.

More details to come on this.

Official, from MLB: Tomorrow's Subway Series opener between the Mets and Yankees has also been postponed.

[quote="JackofVirginia" post=396733]The three game Yankee series has been cancelled just when they have a bunch on the injured list. Sounds like a conspiracy to me.[/quote]

Like the BET, as SJU fans can we count these as wins?
 
I told my son the Mets caught a break here. Injuries or not the Mets weren’t winning many games in this series. From a Mets perspective not knowing which player has COVID it is a chance to reset and get some rest. We are almost into September and the playoff scramble......
 
Watching some of the Mets games from last season, and the enthusiasm of the younger players, it's a shame they have this abortion of a season to build upon last years breakout by some kids.
 
Truth just came out. It was Jeff Wilpon’s idea to try and play the game and not Manfred’s. Makes a lot more sense now.

Can't help but wonder though. Is Jeff falling on the sword here? The Wilpon's are soon to be out (very low minority stake). Bad look to have GM of a team in NYC saying the MLB commish 'just doesn't get it'. Brodie mentioned both names in the video but this just seems like putting out the fire.

Could be. Would have looked terrible for the Mets to play the game and I am sure their future owners made that clear to Wilpon if he didn’t understand that.
 
Well leave it to the Mets to dominate the headlines.

This is getting better and better
 
I guess J-Lo will not be supplanting Anna-Lisa Benson as the all-time highest profile lady in the Mets’ organization
 
Jesus please give another team a 5% stake in the Mets if they will take Diaz off our team
