Hard not to pick the Dodgers, but we've seen teams with the best regular season go down plenty of times, so who knows...

The greatest words in sports... Game Sev... er... Three. Game Three.
The stupid trumpets when we're losing in an elimination game was embarrassing.
Bringing the fucking trumpet guy out to play live with a month left to go was embarrassing.
The last month has been embarrassing.
I'm used to embarrassing exits with this team. The only saving grace I have is knowing that we won't follow up the embarrassing end to what was an otherwise great season with a fire sale because the owner lost all his money in a ponzi scheme.
It's Uncle Stevie's time to shine.

Win 101 games and still find a way to embarrass ourselves.
Sigh. At least we have Uncle Stevie.

Nats fans had to endure seven years of competitive but fruitless baseball before we finally saw our team put it together. Tonight sucks for the Mets but they’re doing alright in the grand scheme of things.

You hate to see seasons like the Mets had end like this. Unfortunately, Atlanta didn't let up and stole the NL East crown. This should piss off everyone in the entire organization to have an even better year in 2023.
This is true in that the Braves played 60 games over .500 after July 1, which is insane, but also bullshit in that the Mets lost 5 of 6 at home to the Cubs and Nats in early September. Forget getting swept in Atlanta. It's not crazy to get swept by a really good team on the road. Getting swept by a 90 loss team at home? That's the division.
Win one of those and they win the division.
They got too cute around the deadline. They had a chance to make meaningful changes and decided to pass. That will haunt them.
But the idea of Cohen being in charge is not one of making one short term run. It's one of a complete shift in the way the franchise operates, with a goal of sustained success.
So as much as the last few weeks suck? Fred Wilpon is not here to hurt us anymore. Cohen has the most money in baseball, he's intent on winning, and he's one of us.
I'm off to hide in my cave now

Cohen might’ve been served a wake up call about the deadline’s lack of moves that he won’t be inclined to repeat. I do have concerns about the aging, increasingly expensive pitching, but for once the Mets have the money to deal with it.
My checklist for next year is as follows...
...younger starting pitching
... Alvarez opens the season as the starting catcher. Batty is either your starting third baseman, or you include him in a trade for said younger starting pitchers
... Need to add a power bat. Doesn't matter what position. If we already have someone in the bat position? Well guess what, it solves another issue...
... Fix DH (which they royally fucked up at the deadline). You get a pass for not having a good DH to start the year. The rule didn't exist during free agency last year. Now there's no excuse.
... Middle relief (which they also fucked up on at the deadline)
... Never use the phrase "These Mets" again
... Timmy Trumpet gets a lifetime ban
I'm 50/50 on DeGrom. My gut says he wants to leave for a team in Trump country. He's as dominant as anyone when healthy, but he hasn't been able to stay healthy. I get Cohen is rich - but can we lock up $100 million dollars per year on a 39 year old pitcher and another one who hasn't shown that he can stay healthy (or pitch past the 6th inning)?
Lot of free agents - deGrom, Nimmo, Diaz.
I'd be ok seeing Diaz walk. I have issues with guys who all of a sudden find themselves in a contract year.

"Gee, they did the right thing by firing me!"
Phils in the NLCS. Never woulda thunk.
Dodgers NOT in the NLCS after 111 regular season wins. Never woulda thunk.
Yankees going to Game 5 against Cleveland. No surprise.
