Need some positive mojo. And the Mets who personified positive mojo are Mookie Wilson and Wally Backman. Links to heartwarming interviews with Mookie Wilson and Wally Backman. The second Wally Backman interview involves baseball cards!

I still think they're going to make it. But if they don't, it will be one of the most disappointing seasons in recent MLB history. Remember when Uncle Stevie said "if we don't win a WS in 3-5 years, it will be a disappointment"?

In Lindor We Trust. Way to keep fighting tonight. Let's Go Mets!

Wheels coming off early for the Mets.

Mets go out with a whimper, 4-0, after Reds lose to Brewers.

Absolutely epic collapse. Gotta believe that Mendoza is gone after this.

No heart. Left 20 on base. 0-8 with runners in scoring position. Edwin Diaz showed up at least. You can hear the hurt in Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez's voice during the postgame.

At least we get to listen to Ronnie in the playoffs (I think).

Manager is definitely gone whether he deserves it or not. Tough to just buy a team, particularly when the person in charge of spending the money doesn’t do so on pitching.

Totally agree. Mojo matters, and this team had none.

The 2025 team had 5 players with fWAR with 3.0 or higher; the 2024 had only 1.

The 2025 team's top 5 players had fWAR that was 16% higher than the top 5 in 2024.

The 2025 had a generational getting on base talent that cost $765 million, while the 2024 team had Jose Iglesias.

So Bochy and Melvin are now available and they're going to keep Mendoza? Classic Mets stupidity.

Wally Backman is also available. Now that Sandy Alderson is gone, Wally can get his chance again. The Mets don't have an issue with game management. There's just no heart. We need Wally Backman.

What a winning strategy in Queens. Sign Soto for insane money only to let your franchise cornerstone and closer walk the next season. Great investment.

Damn, Dodgers seem to be getting everybody. Maybe everyone wants to play with Ohtani. Too bad the Angels couldn’t figure that out.

[D. Bergin]

I am curious how Devin Williams does in Shea. If he finds his form again he could be a cheaper Edwin Diaz. I kind of hoped the Yanks would have brought him back, since he seemed to get his sea legs under him the 2nd half of the season, and he would have been much cheaper to sign then he would have been at the end of the previous year.

Interesting writeup on him here:

Damn, why did I think he was going to the Dodgers. Did I just imagine that?

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

Where would he play on the Dodgers?
