If I don't win another game this year I still have GM of the year locked up because I lost top 3 receivers to injuries and my 4th who I picked up on waivers in like week 2 who was fantastic for me lost him to an injury.

My 2 starting WR's this week were Kodai Senga and Maton and somehow I still won
 
As Dandy Don Meridith used to sing on Monday Night Football--"Turn Out The Lights Party's Over"

PS--at least some NYC sports success today. In Brooklyn, we have a champion as The Liberty won the WNBA finals (must admit, I flipped off the Mets to watch half of the last quarter and OT).
 
Bombers/Bums in the WS. First time in what, ten years? Fernando mania will dominate in game #1, provided Reggie doesn’t go downtown repeatedly.
 
Certainly can’t say for certain the real affect but I will never understand why the Mets chose to break up a rotation that had chemistry, a sense of camaraderie and was pitching damn good baseball to force feed a pitcher who hadn’t pitched all year and was obviously not remotely ready to pitch in the playoffs. They really outsmarted themselves IMO by basically getting virtually nothing from their most consistent regular season starter. I am a huge chemistry guy in all sports and I think the Mets made a big mistake tinkering with it for a pitcher who had sat out the entire year.
Baseball over for me, I know someone already posted it but I also have zero interest in a Yankee-Dodger WS. Hate the Dodgers and have been completely uncaring about the Yankees since the 43rd George-Billy reunion way, way back in the day. Admired the great Jeter-Mariano teams but never rooted for them.

A very hard fought defensive rugby game, teams combined for 48-142 from the field and 5-42 from 3. Liberty won from the line, they took 25 foul shots to 8 for Minnesota.

Pissed off at the loss but realistically if you asked me before the season started if I'd be watching us play on Oct 20 I'd have said not chance in hell

Senga should have been in the bullpen

He should have never been anywhere near the playoff roster but water under the bridge. Clock reads next year now………

It’s hard to be a Met fan in a town owned by the Yankees. I feel for you.😎👍

I feel for you since you, since it looks like the Mets have some ownership in your head.
Why else would a Yankee fan, come into a Mets thread talking about being in a town owned by the Yankees.
Don’t worry. My life is just fine.
Good luck in the World Series, although I do not give a rats rear end who wins.
This series may as well be Hamas-Hezbollah.
 
I read that Yankees thread through the season for amusement purposes. They are all a bunch of whiney bitches complaining all year long and now acting like everything is coming up aces. You can’t undo all your bitching you ungrateful losers! Let the record show in a WS year you were moaning 99% of the time.
 
Like most Mets fans, I went to sleep last night feeling sick to my stomach. Overachievers? Didn't matter. Great ride? Didn't matter. Just two wins from the World Series? Didn't matter.

I woke up feeling different.

After YouTubeTV booted SNY (SNY was the biggest reason I moved to YTTV) late in the 2023 season, I struggled to find a way to get access to Mets games. I wasn't successful till mid June when I got access to the SNY app and figured out that the app isn't supported ny LG TVs but does work on the Amazon Fire Stick.

For the first time in years, watched nearly every game from that point on, obviously interest built.

Suddenly a franchise that couldn't or more appropriately WOULDN'T do anything right under prior ownership, had an owner who knew nothing about baseball except being an ardent fan with a fat wallet. After trying to buy a championship (101 wins wasn't half bad) brought in the man he wanted (Stearns) and gave him control of baseball operations.

Refreshingly Cohen keeps quiet when things don't go well. He never trashes players or fans, and all indications are that the team loves him. The game watches are brilliantly geared towards fans whether you went or not. Citifield is incredibly family friendly, and is once again a stadium where you can end up chatting with a complete stranger next to you, or on the train to or from games.

Throughout this unexpected run, as you traveled to Citi, you could feel and hear fan excitement building, the camaraderie palpable the closer you got. You get the feeling that if Cohen becomes aware of something that sucks for fans, he will correct it if he can

The players. Wow. We use the word "team" to refer to roster, but these guys really became a great team in their spirit, support of each other, and rowing in unison. Yes, there are deficiencies to correct, but with $90 million coming off the books, the Mets will be buyers this winter.

What they won't do is mortgage their future. They will continue to stock the farm system, and there are a couple of guys with market value who likely won't be here next year.

It's rare to end a season that ends short of the WS by saying THANK YOU to the Mets, but since mid June the team became the boys of Summer with a season as enjoyable as an August sunset - worth watching every second till it dipped below the horizon.

Already can't wait for next season. In the meantime, the Johnnies will perfectly fill that gap.

Less than 4 months till pitchers and catchers report to spring training. LGM! YGB!

I just find some of your within post comments hysterical. :)

I would love to see a Hamas-Hezbollah to the death WS. After they join forces to overthrow the other horrific leadership in Iran

Let’s face it, Yankee fans can be as utterly obnoxious as any on the planet. Read all year while they were winning how they had no chance with Boone, with Stanton, with Holmes, etc. They stunk, break the team up, Cashman is the worst, on and on and on. Then gloating
and rubbing other fans faces in it after a 15 year draught? Nice……

How do u know I’m a Yankee fan? Just stating a fact. One only need look at the history of both organizations and it’s not close. I actually used to be a fan of both till Mr. Wiponzi took over the team and it was obvious they were headed no where. I was actually hoping for a Subway Series.
