So much for racking up the wins against the bad teams in September … lead down to one after today.
I've long felt there are no easy wins for an offensively challenged team. And I dont want to hear the but we are 5th in runs scored line. If anyone who has watched this team day in and day out can't see that this offense doesn't pass the eye test than I dont know what to tell you. Not to mention scoring a single run in back to back games against starters with era's of 5.00 or higher.

Every team wins 50 and loses 50 games. it's what you do with the other 62 that make or break a regular season. They all get paid to play and were phenomenal players when growing up. I personally don't put any games in the win column before they are played, I don't care what sport.
 
Mets had a 7 game lead over Atlanta on August 8th.
If I may offer the following perspective:

On June 1 the Mets led the Braves by 10.5 games.

Since that date, the Mets have gone 50-33. That's .602 ball. That's a 98 win pace. Not the blistering pace of April and May, but still pretty effin' good.

Yet during that span, the Braves have gained 9.5 games on the Mets! How? By going 60-24, a .714 winning percentage and a 116 win pace! That is insanely good.

My point is that the Mets have been consistently good all year. They have not been giving anything up. The Braves have been TAKING it. Maybe they will continue to do so. Maybe they won't.

I do believe that the Mets will rebound from this two game losing streak. This year, I don't think the Mets will give it up. If the Braves take it, then you tip your cap and move on to the wild card.

I'll agree in that if we lose the division it will be because we're good but not good enough.

Agree with worm 100%
On the 2nd part- while it is pretty much in agreement. I make the slight change. It would mean we were good but they were better.
but, not going to give up.,,
While we have started our easy part of the schedule- the Braves are still playing cupcakes themselves.
mid the Braves blow through Sea/SF/Phil’s and still winning at a 700+ pace- then tip your hat.
 
As much as I hate the Braves the Mets have not “let them” back into the race. Braves deserve credit for what they have done. That said we still are in first and think we pull it out
 
Mets game postponed split doubleheader Wednesday

I stop posting in this thread and we lose 2 of 3 to the Nats? I'll never leave again.
 
Walkers’s best chance lately might be allowing 3 singles and having 3 pick-offs each inning.
 
This is so friggen disappointing. After watching 98% of the innings this season for the team to seemingly stop caring and go completely flat at the worst time is frustrating as hell.

Just like last year. The Mets play the Braves tough but on paper the Braves are clearly superior. I know the games aren’t played on paper. I guess we’ll see what they got since it will probably be tied after tonight.
 
I know the main issue is the offense but why is Bryce Montes De Oca getting a 2nd inning in a 4-2 game?

And why was Adonis Medina brought in the other night in a 2-1 game?

It’s like The Twilight Zone.
 
Braves will be up 4-0 by end of second inning


3-0 top 1 Braves still batting, skip Carrey dancing in the booth already
