I think all Mets relievers should zip line in from the Shea Bridge to the mound. NOW we're talking! Puts a whole new slant on, "get me the bullpen on the wire."

They're locked into Canha through 2024 for like $11mil per. Just wanted to wet everyone's blanket a little more before retiring.

Winning-Averse Lineup

Scherzer craps the bed, historically. Most HR's ever in a post-season game ever against a Mets pitcher. #lgm #ygb #ymdyf

Watching a bunch of the "Greatest Fans in Baseball" exiting en masse and not sticking around for the bottom of the ninth was kinda amusing.

Lol, blessed with Michael Kay doing the play by play in St. Louis...

1. What will The Mets record will be? ~ 102-60 [media=youtube]oPwrodxghrw[/media]

I did well this year in not falling behind too much at any point. I think this will be the third straight year I voted in all 162 games. Looking forward to my box of Rice-A-Roni in the mail next week.

Mcneil lost the batting title I think you got some bad info... https://www.mlb.com/mets/news/jeff-mcneil-wins-2022-national-league-batting-titleMcNeil seals 2nd batting title in Mets history

one more win, at any time in the season changing one of the 61 losses to a win, would have won the title. Maybe "Games the Mets Pissed Away in 2022" deserves it's own thread this off-season. Now isn't the time, now is the time for positivity!! #lgm #ygb #ymdyf

9-sniffle > 6-sniffle!

I just tuned in. 6-sniffle is fun!!

High and far is Sterls. I have to admit, I like him...

Freeman, F-8!

And while you wanted to pivot to alternatives, you were unable to find candidates that struck you as wiser alternatives. Or you retain faith in your original investment to turn around, but it doesn't. Sometimes, despite all the resources in the world, given a finite number of roster spots, you make the wrong decisions. Or you make the right ones and they fall victim to entirely unpredictable circumstances. Or in the Mets' case, you pivot just as your original investment is ready to turn around. Maybe they should have ridden Smith and Davis out. I dunno. You can be rich (even be the richest) and be wrong — wrong for the right reasons and wrong for the wrong ones. it's far more nuanced than a guy being crazy rich and therefore failure is unacceptable. Astros owner Jim Crane is one of the handful of least wealthy MLB owners, but he got some of the most DH production this season. Hopefully, the successes will carry things forward and the non-successes will keep at it and find a way to contribute anyhow. Deadline dealing strikes me as a tougher crapshoot than most. Even people blessed with great wealth and great ability have to stay humble, for humility will certainly be visited up on them. If we've learned nothing else from reading Beowulf, surely we've learned this. Shouldn't this be in a different thread?

HR in his second AB.

The radar is pretty ominous until like 6:30 or so.

Well, I guess Michael Kay was my small issue. And I was fine to leave it at that. Until someone brought up Bonds* in a thread about a guy who broke a 61 year HR record. It's really not that hard to 'get' if you go back and re-read. That's all you get, so make it last.
