Some people love dwelling on the past and carrying grudges.
Onward, upward and don't look back. Unless you want to provide a Kelenic update?

reminds me of all those Yankee teams so many years back in the day

Now that’s stupid talk considering that the NL East is the best division in MLB with two 100 win teams and even Philly having 87 wins. Dodgers is the Golden franchise right now who also happens to be the best team in baseball. Keep that AL stuff in your thread.
Considering that most of you have called me stupid recently, I have a stupid comment/question that may have had slipped my mind during the Mets collapse. Since Atlanta and the Mets may finish with the same record, is this the first year that there will be no Game 163 like in years past when there were no tiebreakers and it was all hands on deck for that one game? I probably would’ve lived with that Game 163…
Anywho… since that don’t exist anymore, on to the Wild Card.

Yes, this is the first year. Possible exception is the short COVID season of 2020, don't recall what they did then.
Of course this would be the year… 😂 <sigh>
Thanks Rob Manfred!!!!!
OK… Let’s Go Mets!!!
Very proud of this team. Good to see the team chemistry back.
Coming over to your side, too funny wait, I thought only non Yankees fans argued with you? I guess they didn't join you on your crusade against Stanton, Boone, Chapman,Holmes, Donaldson- - - - - -, the list is about as endless as your list of arguing with posters. Crawl back to The Dead Zone it needs the traffic. You and missing in action for 2 months{during Yankees slide} kbee and try and pickup the pace over there. What a joke of a fanbase, frontrunners every last one of you.
Frank- please remind me that you wanted JD to stay a Met this year-I do not remember those posts...
I would rather we tie at 101 wins- I got no shame in 101 wins- 3rd most in MLB and only lost it to a tie breaker of 1 game over 19 games.
My head is higher than a team that was on track for 120 wins and had been almost 10 games over everyone else in MLB and finish with 98 wins.
I do give Atl credit- the balls out won it. I take no shame in that.
I guess if you think a bye is important. I’d rather have my team stay hot.
I agree the path is easier, that’s the only reason it matters.
And no the 2020 season didn’t count. I don’t care what the rules were. It was a dumb season and did not test the teams.
That Padre team doesn’t make the playoffs in 162 game season that year.
You’re dealing with less injuries and taxing your bullpen less. Less slumping to worry about. Less mental struggles, etc.
You can say that season was the same rules but it was lame af. None of the championships counted that year IMO.
Just like I commented when I saw that on Twitter.......if JD had done more of that for us then the trade would have never been made.
The Mets are beat up. They need all the rest they can get.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say the same thing if your Padres won the championship that season. Despite what you think, those were the rules that crazy year and year every team dealt with it.
So the 1981 strike year didn’t count either? Maybe 2021 shouldn’t have counted either because of the 7 inning double headers? Or 1995-2005 shouldn’t count because of steroids?
Does this mean DeGrom game 2?
Curious to see if we go Snell or Musgrove game 2, I think it absolutely has to be Snell.
Of course not, because I’m a homer.
All I know is if they’re going to ignore stats from a steroid era and act like Judge ACTUALLY broke the HR record then I’m not counting a 60 game season with no fans lmao.
Thing is Bonds is officially the Home Run King in the record books. So there’s that.
Apparently Judge is the HR king.
Here’s another fun fact, the 2022 Nationals have more Wins than the 2020 Doyers.
Is Scherzer pitching game 1 to save Degrom for Dodgers or is his blister bothering him? Thanks.
@yesrutgers01 - here’s one from 9/1. I can dig up countless comments on not doing the Ruf trade, but I’ll park it. Saddled with this guy at least for now.
Not necessarily. Buck did not address that. Speculation is that if Mets win Game 1, they may go with Bassitt in Game 2 and try to save deGrom for LA. But who knows.
Yup. You’re a biased homer.
And show me the link of the record books that says Judge is the MLB Home Run King?
Shame to tie with Braves and lose out to tiebreaker. Still think Buck did a terrible job with substitutions the last week of year. . But nice to still be playing. It is what it is. Let’s beat the Padres and move on.
I think Max is the right call. I’ll live with the result - win or lose (hopefully win).
Note that the Mets-Padres is the only series scheduled entirely for primetime.
Can you show me where Barry Bonds, the HR King, is in the Hall of Fame?
Look idc you can say what you want, but there is a massive difference between a 162 game season vs a 60 game season.
I don’t consider the Padres making the playoffs that year legit because it was a joke.
There’s a reason why when we clinched this week all the talk was first playoff IN A FULL SEASON since 2006.
Everyone knows it was a complete joke.
Also to add to my post above. If the Mets win game 1, you go for the kill shot in game 2.
You don’t dance around and let us force a game 3
If deGrom pitches Game 2 on Saturday, he is done until Game 3 next Friday. There is no way he’d come back on 3 days rest for Game 2 on Wednesday. If you win G1, you hope for the sweep with Bassitt, and plug deGrom in G1/G5 with LA.
That just makes no sense to me. If you win game 1 you go for the kill shot in game 2.
For me Darvish, Scherzer, Snell, and DeGrom are the key pitchers in the series (obviously).
If the padres pitch Joe instead of Snell in game 2 (regardless of game 1’s outcome) I’ll be very disappointed in BoMel

They’re in the record books as the 2020 Champs. That’s all that matters.
It lines up with Snell in Game #2 and Musgrove in #3. That's the way the rotation was set up last weekend. Clevinger and Manea are the long guys out of the pen if needed.
Weird that it’s being celebrated as HR King then. So you think it’s a bunch of BS.Here’s the All Time Career Home Run Record from the actual MLB web page:

Again, you can have your opinion on the 2020 season and I can have mine. The reality is that there are challenges throughout a 162 game season that the 2020 teams simply did not have to deal with in a 60 game season. That’s just a fact.
You don’t think that’s significant, and I do. So even if I were to concede and say okay they were champs, they would be the bottom of the list in terms of how legit they were.
I think you could see Clev game 1 @ LA. Manaea definitely out of the pen, but wouldn’t expect to see him unless a starter gets seriously roughed up.
