RIP to Davey Johnson. In my opinion, the best Mets skipper ever.

Should've won multiple WS or at least NL pennants. Cashen ruined the chemistry when he got rid of Knight and Mitchell.

Davey also didn't get enough credit for being the first nerd manager.

I've already re-watched "Once Upon a Time In Queens" twice this year. Feels like I should do it again for Davey.
 
18 games left, 4 games up in the WC, staggering to the finish line. I can see us flubbing this up like ‘07.
Who had the under in number of games winning, losing after 8, at zero? WTF? That is unfrigginheardof.
No game winning dinger, or XBH, like that stiff Marte could have done today? Instead - a game ending DP. Poor Sproat. Good game wasted.
Still, despite all this we may get to go on the road and have to win a best of 3.
 
This team is gonna be the death of me. And watching Jake pitch against us tonight ain't gonna be fun.
 
Gonna be an interesting next 4 days. 2nd through 7th Wild Card teams are all facing each other this week
 
what a brutal stretch. Saturdays game was especially bad with the pen blowing it after a great start from Sproat. Lindor not catching that liner to start the 9th. Baty picked off 2nd base. Alvarez with catcher interference. Just bad baseball. The little things adding up.

But let’s all cross our fingers that yesterday is where things changed. Finally a clutch hit in extra innings. Pete with the walk off to snap out of a funk. Finally some feel good. McLean is without a doubt the teams ace. Now maybe he goes the way of Matz or Harvey or Thor and doesn’t have staying power - but for now at least, he’s clearly our Ace.

Saw where Holmes and Manaea will piggy back a start. I don’t hate that. Both have had several outings where they are good through 3 or 4 but then implode. Maybe this will be a formula that works. It’s not ideal and quite frankly embarrassing that Manaea particularly is in this situation after we re-signed him to anchor the staff - but here we are and we have to try something.

Giants and Reds lost too.

Buckle up!
 
Piggyback game tomorrow. We’re that team now. Why even pretend our starter will go more than 3-4 innings. Then hand the ball off to 2025 flop Manaea. Oh my.
Might as well get in and then upset the 3 seed on the road in a 2 of 3. Why not..
 
Was great to see some fight last night. Get down early with a bad inning in the field but battle back and then the Pen keeping the Nats at bay.

Soto is on some kind of heater right now. Heck, a lot of the guys are with the bat. Pete, Lindor, Alvy…even Marte and Baty are swinging the bat well.

If the staff can figure things out then we have a shot to make a deep run.

Better chance of Soto joining the 40/40 club (needs 6 SB), Lindor joining the 30/30 club (needs 3 HR) or Pete going over 40 (needs 3 HR)?
 
I do not envy you guys having to rely on the Pirates on the road to bail y'all out. Bucs are terrible on the road.

That said, our pitching just shut out the A's for 22 straight innings. But all three games vs Reds should be pitching duels.

Not even really worried about the Reds/Pirates at this point, Mets have to be able to win or nothing matters
 
Hopefully the Mets sneak in and it doesn't matter, but I have a feeling if they don't get in Mendoza is the scapegoat.

Decisions like today leave me scratching my head. I think they waited too long during the season to start piggybacking Clay Holmes, which is fine. But they did it Tuesday, started Holmes and went to Manaea, and it was super successful. I have no idea why they decided to start Manaea and have Holmes follow him today

Did you have the Rams? LMFAO. I had Eagles and no business winning.

…back to the Mets. Tiebreaker Reds in 2 or 3 way with us and D Backs. But I think we go 1-2 tops in Wrigley. I hate this team.

I've got them going 2-1 against the Cubs because they have nothing to play for and aren't gonna want to push their starters too much and have them ready for the Wild Card series. I'm still optimistic about this team, they have plenty of talent

God bless, Navery. You sound like Mendy.
“This team has talent.” Dude is out of his element.
