  1. And, just two years ago they came out of a deeper hole with less time remaining in the season. (See graphics above.) I don't expect it to happen, but it can, and did, quite recently.
  2. In 2024, the Mets were more games below .500 later in the season than they are now. Optimism!
  3. I was there in late October for five days and the weather was beautiful the whole time.
  4. I blame Stearns more than Mendoza, but I'm fine with both of them going.
  5. I was really hoping for meaningful games in May this year.
  6. The Mets have been doing this kind of stuff for years. I imagine other teams do as well, but I don't pay attention to other teams. It's ridiculous. I'd rather see a 28-man roster with more limits on "up-downs". Or even a 30-man roster.
  7. The ads can be pretty intrusive, but I suppose they're a necessary evil.
  8. I reached out to the new guy last week, but never got a response. I noticed that there used to be an "About Us" section that listed the names and even a couple of photos of the new team, but that's been taken down.
  9. The Mets seemingly had been openly coveting Robert for a year or two. I never quite understood it.
  10. I estimate that I've eaten over 15,000 Pop-Tarts.
  11. And he's already practically in Cowtipper's Hall of Fame.
  12. I guess his seat was at least a little bit hotter than Mendy's. Don Mattingly is the interim manager.
  13. On October 3, 2024, Devin Williams was hittable when we needed him to be hittable. He can stop now.
  14. I see that Williams was credited with the win even though Brazoban was the Mets pitcher when the winning runs scored. I suppose the official scorer used the "brief and ineffective" rule to take the win from Brazoban, but Williams doesn't really seem much more deserving. I probably would have given the win to Peterson, but I'm not sure how much discretion the official scorer has. Does the win have to go to a pitcher adjacent in the box score to the guy who was brief and ineffective?
  15. I remember thinking the same thing more than 30 years ago when Vince Coleman kept pulling muscles every time he moved.
  16. Ugh. I was hoping to hear that it wasn't as bad as Soto's.
