I like the Mets chances they have a cakewalk of a schedule to end the year. The offense is starting to get hot too.

Giants game last night was crazy
Schimpf hit a 3 run homer with 2 outs and 2 strikes lmfao
Theyve blown 6 of their last 10 save opps. Wow


And they play the cards next for 4 and then the dodgers for 6
As bad as theyve been. They still have the division for the taking

Like clockwork, Mets sweep the Twins next up the Braves. This is so bittersweet without Harvey, Degrom, and Matz.

Like clockwork in terms of the Mets beating up on teams with below .500 records for the past 3 years.

Actually no.

The Mets last year were 50-16 against the Rockies, Reds, Braves, Phillies, and Marlins.

And only 7-20 against the Cubs, Pirates, Dodgers, and Cardinals.

This year its been a mixed bag. 19-21 versus playoff contenders. Slightly above .500 against teams below .500

Fuck this even if we make the playoffs itll be a quick and painful exit. Getting swept by the Braves is embarassing, I cant believe the Cardinals havent run away with it.

What a rob by Inciarte.
