OT: 2024 NY Mets Season Thread

Not open for further replies.
From 0-5 to OMG!!!!! So 89 wins, who would've thought it. Yup, it's only a Wild Card spot, but thinking back to that start and the way this board was with the invasion of giddy Mets haters.LOL. I'll remember that Lindor HR with everything that led up to it forever. Iconic moment in NY Mets history that hasn't had nearly as many as I would like as a fan from the very beginning in 1962. Add to that the texting between my sons as that 8th inning and the 9th inning unfolded was priceless. Knowing long after I'm gone, I raised 2 young men who played and love a game that I do and helped them meet friends and teammates that are lifelong friends. Now on to Milwaukee baby!!!!
 
Don’t look now but it’s a playoff game day

I'm 41 and been a Mets fan my whole life. Pretty die hard. But on the radio, hearing this is the 11th post-season trip in their history, which dates back to 1962, 62 years, is pretty incredible. Only 11 times have they even made the playoffs... so really worth celebrating and taking a minute to enjoy it.

Of course I coach my daughter's 4th grade basketball team.... and they have practice tonight at 5:30. Brutal

The Mets sent out an e-mail describing sometime type of a golf event hosted at Citi Field on Nov. 1 st and 2nd.
In the unlikely event that they reach the World Series,Games 6 and 7 are scheduled for those dates and the Mets would have the home field over 3 AL teams,including Houston.
They will win in 4 or 5.

Only if they had the wildcard back in the 80s. The Mets would have gone damn there every year from '84 on.

I am not sure what the normal average is but we have made the playoffs 11 time and played in 5 WS??? I think that is correct

How would the Wild Card helped the "88 team?
Dammit- can I just be like everyone relate where facts don’t get in the way of what I post. Lol

You are right…my bad- but as a cover, it would have helped if it meant we didn’t have to play the Dodgers. lol

If a wild card existed back then , I believe the Mets would have made the playoffs every year from 1984 thru 1990 or 92.

Of course if the above occurred , who knows whether we would have won the 86 WS given match ups / parameters possibly would have changed etc.

But of course One wonders , as I do , what could have been in all those other years had a wild card existed.

Maybe A. I . can tell us. 😂

no way to refigure outcomes but it is fair enough to say that we would have had a shot at 4-5 more chances.

That owner is say- screw 2 teams- not ours. lol
I disagree. The D-Backs owner is absolutely right. MLB didn't have the cojones to lay down the law to the Braves to get the games in on Monday and Tuesday. As a result, the final playoff spot was decided in the embarrassing travesty which was yesterday's game 2.

Put yourself in the D-Backs position. How would you feel seeing the Mets and Braves congratulating each other on the field yesterday. Not saying there was collision. Am saying that the optics were terrible. Also saying that the Mets swings in game 2 were the worst we have seen all season.

No collusion at all- even the thought of that would think someone has no idea of the history between the two.

Question- with that Monday being an off-day, is playing Monday a MLB or Players Union decision?

also- ending at 2-5 with playoffs in question- maybe look at that rather than the schedule

Well yeah, if the D-Backs had won more games, none of this would have mattered. That is also true of the Mets and the Braves. They didn't, and it does matter.

I defer to no one in my Mets fandom. But if I take my Mets cap off, I am left with the inescapable conclusion. Yesterday's game 2, which decided the final playoff spot, was a travesty and an embarrassment to the sport. Is that even debatable?

Please note that I am not blaming the Mets. I am blaming MLB.

Anyway, rant over. Playoffs start in less than an hour!

How many teams that had the playoffs locked up did not rest players in the final game? We shouldn't penalize the Met's and risk injury or their starting rotation if they have the playoffs locked up. The fact it was game 2 of a DH- doesn't matter

^^^^^ 100%. Plus the Mets and Braves hate each other, so I think if the Mets could have, they would have sent them home packing.

Iglesias has no clue where to go on the hit to center field. His mistake allowed the runner to advance to second. It's not just him making simple mistakes, it's the lack of fundies throughout the team and that starts with the manager.
