My beloved Mets were just swept by an awful Marlins team. They've gotten exactly three hits and zero runs combined the last two days. Which begs the question, which one of my favorite teams will finish a season with a .500 record first? I can only hope it happens before 2021.
 
As a Rangers fan, I love their future outlook. Getting the number 2 pick this year was huge as they are guaranteed to get Hughes or Kakko, who both seem like generational players. They have a good young coach in Quinn, and now with the addition of John Davidson as President, I like their front office. They have some good young players including a stud goalie coming over next season from Russia, and they have over 40 million of cap space.

That being said, UConn has the best chance for next season.

I think and hope you're right. And since they both finish the regular season around the same time, it could happen the same week. Either way, something's got to give. I can't remember all my teams sucking this much at the same time.
 
Dislike all those teams but UConn. UConn men’s basketball will be well over .500 next year. Since they finish the season before the Knicks, it’s the Mets or Giants. Doubt the Giants break .500 but they could be even at 8-8. Mets...most irrelevant baseball team there is. Who cares?

It's been a tough stretch for sure but I would be shocked if UConn isn't above .500 next season.

Well it sounds like you care enough to dislike the Mets, which means they are not irrelevant to you.

Regarding the Mets, spoken like a true Bosox fan who still hasn't gotten over Billy Buckner's croquet play.

My dislike if from 1986. Haven’t cared about them since. They are so utterly overshadowed in NY. Even the Jets may be more relevant.

Edit: @UConnNick I’m long over it. Certainly wouldn’t want to trade places with a Mets fan. From then until now.
 
Sadly, I’m a fan of ALL those teams. I would wait to see what the Knicks do this off-season. The only one I feel confident is going in the right direction is the Rangers. I hope JD doesn’t try to win now, like Brodie & the Mets. UConn has too many question marks.

Sox fan here and this is a bad take. If the Mets were so irrelevant than why does everyone (Yankee fans) make fun of them? People wouldn't care if they were irrelevant. They have tons of fans and we share a common hatred for the Yanks so they're fine with me.

Yanks weren’t on this thread so it would only be a jealous Sox creep who would even bother. Just a few more and your guys will be almost as relevant as the Yanks.

Oh answer the Mets this year if not the GMen. Huskies will too just not first.

Mets. Too much talent on the team not to turn this around. I think they will finish the season above 500.

Every time I think that they go on a run like this. It's odd

I care. I'm a Mets fan. Can't help it, no matter how much they tempt me.

You clearly aren't over it. And I would root for the Sox against any team but the Mets. Hate Yankmees.

Grew up in CT, in my life I’ve met 3 Mets fans. Like the Jets to the Giants they are an afterthought in their own market. I hate the Yankees. I don’t hate the Mets.

That you have to put them down in order to assuage your own inferiority to the Yankees typifies the Sox fan, though, no?

Thick skin lol You’re hilarious I’d kick your ass no matter how old you are. You can tell by all your posts you’re a typical pink wearing Ellsbury armband from 2004 “Boston” fan. Hammering on a Whaler fan who was just trying to have some fun and you call him a loser? Biggest one here You it’s not close. You’re lucky if your own friend even actually likes you you’re such a . No fun at a party for sure if you’re even invited ever.
 
I'm a fan of all of those teams, except for the Mets (Yankees fan).

I'd go UConn or Rangers. Both teams are in similar points of their trajectory where they have exciting new coaches and a promising outlook after the following season.
