NCLS Game 6 Oct 20 2024 8 PM Mets at Dodgers "The Power of Love"

[The Hot Corner]

It has been a great run in the second half and I hate to see it come to an end, but I am going to bed.



If I awake tomoorw to see the Mets have staged a historic comeback to force a game 7, I will be ecstatic. If not, and this is the end, then they made a hell of a run and accon=mplished far more than I really expected.

And we're gonna be rooting for these punks next week ….

They're cocky.



Time to score seven.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Let us pray.

[Edgy MD]

I believe.

[Edgy MD]

I believe in Jesse Winker.

[Centerfield]

In hindsight. Maybe pitching a guy who was out all year wasn't the right move.

[Edgy MD]

A also believe in Starling Marte.

[Edgy MD]

Tyrone Taylor? Totally believe in that guy.

[metsmarathon]

Let's go! Base runner!

[Edgy MD]

You KNOW I believe in McJeff.

[metsmarathon]

Keep it going!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

LGM

[Edgy MD]

I Francisco Beelieverez!

[Edgy MD]

Faith without works is dead.



Thanks for sharing a great season with me.

[metsmarathon]

Dang.



Hell of a season, metsies. Hell of a season.



Now load up for next year.

[Frayed Knot]

The pitching just done wore out.

[Cowtipper]

Is it over? Was everyone else let down? I wouldn't know.

[Centerfield]

Hard to believe this crazy run.



The way it fizzled to an end made the end a little less difficult. Usually it takes a little time after a loss to appreciate the overall season. Not tonight. Great job guys.

[Fman99]

Ya gotta bereave

[cal sharpie]

Yeah, great season. I've got to admit those Dodgers are pretty darn good. Take them down next year.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

YGB LGM OMG RIP

[Cowtipper]

They would have done better if they'd kept Max Kranick around.

[Gwreck]

A really fun season, and a team that overachieved expectations is really enjoyable to watch.



This might be the first time ever that the Mets were truly outmatched by a better opponent in a postseason series, and didn't really have a chance to win.



The Mets have a good core but there is a talent gap that was pretty clearly shown this series. The good news is that the Mets unquestionably have the resources to address that this offseason.

Great season, thanks everybody

[Lefty Specialist]

Thinking about it on the morning after, it was a great season. I won't quibble about the end.



Yeah, sure, if a couple of breaks went a different way, they might be playing tonight. Or if the breaks went the other way, Francisco Lindor's grand slam could have been a long fly ball to the warning track. That's baseball, Suzyn.



I predicted at the start of the year this team would lose 92 games. I was unimpressed with the starters especially after Senga went down. I saw the bullpen as a dumpster fire. The hitting wasn't so great. And for the first 59 games, they were proving me right at 24-35. I was resigned to another empty summer of meaningless games.



But they caught fire; whether it was Grimace, OMG, throwing a glove into the stands, a team meeting, bringing up Vientos, Manaea changing his pitching style, Peterson getting healthy, finding the right spot on the couch, whatever, it worked. Sure surprised the shit out of me.



AND IT WAS FUN! They won 101 games in 2022 and it wasn't nearly as much fun. Buck Showalter kind of outlawed fun, I think.



Most seasons we look back in anger at all the games they could have won but didn't because of a bad bullpen or a stupid baserunning play or a costly error. We don't have to do that this year!!!! They wound up exactly where they needed to be! They beat the Brewers, They beat the goddamn Phillies, and they gave the Dodgers a run for their money in the NL-friggin-CS. There isn't a person on this board that wouldn't have signed up for that in late March.



And the best part? Now Kamala can win.
