MillerCoors needs to get this song, with compilation montages of the ‘57 Braves and ‘26 Brew Crew for a High Life beer ad https://youtu.be/Adw772km7PQ?is=SvSlAUHw1cjJ2FL1

1) Yup. Pretty insane all around, Finley even had an injury excuse at the ready, and Manny Trillo ready to be activated for the remainder of the series. 2) Ah.

Is this a Mike Andrews reference?

Retro look this season https://news.sportslogos.net/2026/09/21/devil-in-the-details-of-tampa-bay-rays-new-road-throwback-inspired-uniform/baseball/

FWIW, interesting note also about the Pirates. Besides the Marlins and Rockies, who are still looking for their first Divisional title, the Buccos are still the lone franchise that hasn't won a division title since the 1990s!

Psst, Angels were the 2002 World Champs

Naturally scoreboarding which of the NL championship core were Stearns era scouted draftees, and acquisitions are the convo du jour on Met socials. Both sides of Stearns’ franchise running ability debate oddly using the same statistical data 😑🙄

Was hoping for the Rays, as if its a Game 7er, and they’d win, that would mean when I get to Tampa on Monday, November 2nd, that’d be when the parade is happening! But sounds like all parties are in St Pete going forward until the Tampa stadium opens, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Shawon Dunston?

IN A ROW!?

Robin Ventura?

I don’t think he went beyond the NLDS with other teams, but Mike Piazza?

Curtis

I’m game Show me…OE OH, did NOT read the question right…Welp, no one in that 100 game list sadly…Francisco Lindor?

You know very well how dynamic social media app landing page feed (Meta’s family, TikTok, BlueSky, TwiX, etc) algorithms work.

Latest “let’s dump on the Mets, and cause social media engagement” meme craze is pointing out that with his next game played, Jose Altuve will have played in more postseason games, the the Met Franchise has Manny Ramirez (111), David Justice (112), Bernie Williams (121), Jorge Posada (121) and Derek Jeter (156) have more Yadier FLOWERBEDDING Molina (104), Enrique Hernandez (103), and Alex Bregman (102) round out the 100 games club OMG, WHO CARES!? More of a quirky sign of postseason expansion since 1994 than “gee its sad that a handful of players have more postseason games played, since the playoffs were expanded for the 1994 season, in their careers than a handful of franchises, including my favorite team, have played in their decades long history” And the Mets aren’t the worse offenders. I mean Colorado just ran off their 4th 100+ loss season in a row Have the Mariners or Angels even played their 100th postseason game yet? Like Bonilla Day, this is just foreign slop (Sportskeedia Baseball Facebook Page, location India) for rage and engagement baiting. Especially those who troll Met fans. I wouldn’t worry about it, because while I’d love to have Met players populate the 100 game club, its still more indicative to the expansion of the postseason than hashtag LOL[this franchise that has been woefully inept for much of the same timeframe]

Its pretty much PCA, to a much larger, almost Ryan-esque extent today

And he’s not even the Kevin Brown I use as an example of “yeah, we really don’t give a fuck” “crack research” by, well really anyone presented with a question, but the example was a major market sports radio station! At least THAT Kevin Brown netted us Charlie O’Brien, as opposed to the future MFY bust who a caller thought was the ex-MLB Met!

LOL! To be fair future HOF who was just a couple of years removed from his most recent CY winning caliber season, and still has stuff left in the tank, Or a serviceable back of a rotation guy, a few years removed from his one-year-wonder campaign who is literally on his last legs of his career Not exactly a Sophie’s Choice scenario ;)

Last 83 starting pitcher? Please tell me it wasn’t Swanie!?

Edgy, are you controlling my ChatGPT Bot!? ”Yeah. 😂🤷🏻‍♂️ Which is honestly kind of criminal considering what that team was. A 96–43 championship club featuring Gooden, Dykstra, and a pile of future major leaguers, and nobody thought, “Hey, somebody should write this story.” At least you can win the bar argument with confidence: “I checked. There isn’t a book. I looked.” 🍻⚾️ And if somebody produces a dusty 1984 Lynchburg self-published tome from their uncle’s attic, I’ll happily eat crow. 😎”

Was Shawn Abner in the McReynolds trade?

Speaking of which, Ronnie must have been acquired by then. Though Darling44 debuts in ‘84

Another piece of the Carter trade, Floyd Youmans

3 NLCS performer? For some reason Herm Winningham (ring with ‘90 Reds) is coming to mind
