I have to stop yelling at my computer screen. You know what was sad? I'm watching the MLB.tv broadcast, and at the end of the game, you can hear some Mets fans saying that their team sucks. Those guys must be the Yankees fans who couldn't get tickets to the Guardians game. Or maybe they're also Jets fans and have PTSD.

The Mets don't suck. They've outperformed expectations. But let's face it: you're not going to beat the Dodgers if you let f**king Ohtani blast one and walks three times for Mookie Betts. You can't walk like a million guys and then when it's your turn, leave the bases loaded a million times.

It's uncanny in how many games giving up walks, especially two out walks, are what undid the losing team.

Well, it was a fun year. No one expected them to even make the playoffs, so this was quite a run.

We seriously need some pitching upgrades next year if a championship run is in the cards.

That's right, guys. Make them beat you at home.

It feels a little like 1986. Freddie Freeman with the bum ankle and all.

Huge win to extend this. Far from over, it's baseball, anything can happen these next two games.

Fans of JIM: Jets, post 1995 Milbury/Wang Islanders, Mets

We have a defeatist atitude. I'm lucky enough to have seen the Cup years and the '86 run. But these younger fans and Jets fans? Not a lot to root for especially when there is a better option in town. (Not so much for hockey, but football and baseball...the alternative is superior.)
