Gore is unbelievable
Lindor and Nimmo are fast, but Gore is a blur.

This is the kind of game we've lost far too often in September. When we've failed repeatedly with RISP. But we absolutely need to get this win with the Phillies lying down like dogs and the Braves hosting the Nats next(sweep) while we have to go on the road to Milwaukee who is playing well of late.
Can just give the Braves the 3 Nats wins and FF to Thursday. Hopefully we hold on here and get 2 from MIL.
 
The Mets are going to win 5 of 6 on the upcoming road trip and then sweep the Marlins to put the pressure on Atlanta for the Mets trip south. #LGM

Even 10-5 to end the season puts a ton of pressure on the Braves as long as we win at least one against them. Because then they have to be 13-4 to win it as we get the tie breaker if they go 12-5

I was thinking about this today as well. Win one in Atlanta and we clinch the season series giving us the tie breaker. We have to go into that series up 2 games. If we leave Atlanta with a one game lead we should be in pretty good shape.
 
The series against the Cubs hurt
Yes it did, but we could not possibly have recovered any better. Salvaged a 4-3 homestand, which will have to do. Would have done nicely, had the Phillies taken at least one from the Braves this weekend.

Agree with Cicero that the goal is to have a two game lead going into Atlanta. Will probably need six of the preceding eight to have a shot at that.

I'd sign up right now for a one game lead. Take one of three (at minimum) in ATL, then go back home for the final series against the Nats with the tiebreaker in hand, and thus in control of our destiny.
 
Right now we are even in the loss column, I look at that as we are tied. They can make up the wins.
In the long run yes- but, in these last 2 weeks- it also means they still need to make up the 2 wins.
but I’m with you, I would much rather have the 1 game lead in an equal number of games.
 
We're in a new baseball era.No one thought that a 100 win team would be in the wild card round,yet it will likely happen.Plus,bracketing allows for the third seed to avoid the team with the best record in the second round should they win the first round.They must have thought that copying the NFL's policy of giving the top two division winners a first round bye was all that needed.This may change next year.
 
He’s done nothing but good things since he came to NYC. Too bad hes gotten unnecessary grief for the obvious reason.
He came out of the gate fast and showed some life against his old team, the Pie-Rots this past week. But let's see how he does going forward. I'm not sold on him. He does need to produce.
 
Lost in the battle for first place is the fact that the Mets are on the verge of clinching their first playoff spot in six years. Even with the expanded playoff format, this is not inconsequential.

And yes, the Mets are planning to celebrate it. As they should IMO. It is the first intermediate goal on the way to the ultimate goal. All intermediate goals should be celebrated when reached.

We also just need to go 7-7 over the final 14 to be the first Met team since 1988 to win 100.

Since we know that they are both capable of falling into lengthy spells in which they don't hit at all, I'd play both of them. If one falls off, stay with the other. If both fall off, well, we're used to that.

Peterson and Megill in the BP has got to help. Patterson looked good in the role.

Give me Max/deGrom/Bassitt as my top 3 in the playoffs and a choice of Carrasco/Walker if needed.
I go to battle with them any playoff series
