New York Mets 2025 Season

Disagree, these are pros who WERE right in a divisional race coming into this series. They don’t begin to belong in the playoffs if they let down. They are a below .500 team since June 1, that is just a bad baseball team.
Their veteran starters have let them down big time, not to mention the meltdowns from the bullpen. Their pitching and lack of clutch hitting has set them up to even blow the wild card.

We benefit from it, but hate that the extra wild card gets us in.
 
At the stadium today. Spent much of the game walking around. Have been to too many of these games this season.

Not resigning Iglesias was a mistake he brought a good vibe to the clubhouse like a Ray Knight.

Digested down to the crux. Could not agree more. I would add Bader also. Tough, day in and day out competitive guys, seemingly a dying breed.
IMO, Knicks did the same thing signing Bridges and trading for Towns, exchanged stats for winners.
 
Letting Quintana go was a boneheaded move. A proven big-game pitcher, and he liked it in NY. He is having a good season for the Brewers, who signed him cheap. Meanwhile we signed Montas for significantly more money.

Completely disagree. There is no worse feeling than having a great season and not making playoffs

Unless you are saying you think the ncaa tourney should be only conference winners. As crappy as we have played you are what your record says you are. If that gets us in great if not then we deserve not to be in but it’s not like baseball is watered down compared to other sports

The pennant race use to mean something. The sport is now a playoff sport. They will go to 8 teams with expansion and four teams per division. I wouldve left it at 5 teams that they had few years. Now it’s just get in and will take our chances. Had wildcard existed in the 80’s they’re in every year from 84-90, I get that. Personally would like the majority of analytical folks driven off the Whitestone but that’s me.
