Curtis reminds us that Mets can hit home runs!

[Edgy MD]

CurtiBOOMBOOMBOOM!

Now let's call New York and get that hit thrown out.

[Edgy MD]

Lucas, you want your Met homer title to be secure. Better hit one more, just to be safe.

[Guest d'Kong76]

The Mets have scored around 40% of their runs on HR's this year.
They were talking about it on pre-game, and whether that's a good
thing or relying on it could be not so good?

[Zvon]

Shoot! I stepped away for like 30 seconds! Missed Grandy's kaBOOM.

1-0 NLECHAMPS

[ashie62]

That was a clown call bro.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Kill LA! KILL LA! KILL LA!

[ashie62]

90 wins

[Zvon]

[Gwreck]

Put it in the books!

[Gwreck]

Can they win 90 games (and avoid being the first Met playoff team to have fewer since 1973)?

Yes!

Can they win on the final day, for the fans, for pride, or simply to remind Washington who's boss?

Yes! For all of the above.

How will Jacob DeGrom do in his final warm-up start?

deGromination, baby.

Will they ever get a hit or score runs again?

Eventually, yes.

That's the one!

Despite the morning clouds, it was a beautiful day for baseball -



It was good seeing the division flag already flying. It was good seeing the Mets chalk up their 90th win. It was great knowing that October baseball at Citi Field is far from over!

Not only Wilmer "Vinegar Bend" Mizell, but also Wilmer Dean Chance.
