Ayeeeee gottem
i would personally wait before getting too excited, until the point where it's after september 12th and the mets are leading by at least 7 games.
We'll it's 4 games now... and the Mets have 18 games against the teams in front of them in the wild card race left on the schedule.4.5 games out is the most precarious number. It’s not nearly as close as it sounds, and it’s really easy to lose a game and feel like you’re eliminated or win a game back and feel like you’re right in the thick of it.
The alternative is that my wife is a Red Sox fan... which, sure, probably the wise decision if you care about on field success and winning and all .. but being a Mets fan builds character.Choosing between lifelong Mets or Nats fandom is brutal. I'd just get into a different sport and punch myself in the nuts a few times when October rolls around. Same experience, really.
I watch games on MLB.com every once in a while and attend 1-2 games a year, but I probably follow 70-80 of them on gamecast.

The sad thing is he is immediately our second best starter. Nola has been lights out since the start of June, and Arrieta is gritting it out with a large bone spur in his throwing elbow. We also are running out Drew Smyly, who has been cut twice this season.Also would just like to thank the Phillies for trading for Jason Vargas.
Psssht please.Well, assuming she's a similar age to you, she had the opportunity to build lots of character over the first quarter century or so of her life.
Let's not forget that prior to the ridiculous run Boston sports teams have been on this century it was decades of misery aside from the Celtics. We've earned the spoils we now enjoy.
Cano was turning it around before the recent injury. His getting hot helped start this turnaround.The Mariners have done a good job of screwing over the east this year. James Paxton has not been good. Edwin Diaz has not been good. Mike Zunino has been terrible. Elías getting hurt right after the trade. Cano being bad and then hurt. Jean Segura being... ok I guess?
Now they can just ruin all those prospects they traded for with their history of failing to develop most of the big talents they’ve had in their farm and continue to miss the playoffs for another half a decade at least.
The Patriots were in the Super Bowl in 96, and in the playoffs in 4 of the 7 years before Mo Lewis destroyed Drew Bledsoe's internal organs.Yeah, the Patriots were a laughing stock pre-Brady and the Bruins were on the brink of extinction in the mid-2000s.
But ye earned nothing. You’re lucky.

He's been fine overall, slumped at a bad time but otherwise solid enough. His biggest issue was failing to run out the ball that got McCutchen in the rundown that tore his ACL.Jean Segura being... ok I guess?

Psssht please.
When your city has had the most successful sports run in sports history for 20 years, you lose your ability to say "oh but what about before the last 20 years, they were rough"
You have no idea how much ramen noodle I had to eat back in the day....
