+ purplekow Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 When the Mets, as expected, did not win a single game in Atlanta, that was it. Sixty years of being a Met fan and I am not even bothering to watch the playoffs. I will wait for next year and see just what new agony they can inflict on their fans. kyleham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister (rabid Mets fan) and my brother-in-law (rabid Yankee fan, but roots for the Mets, too) will be at the game on Saturday. It will either be a very QUIET or very LOUD ride home if they lose. She'll either stew in silence or curse out everyone associated with the organization... whereas I am simply waiting to see in which round the Yankees stop hitting AND pitching and lose.

( Of course, they'll never stop defending, not with Harrison Bader on the team, right @WilliamM? ) I was speaking to a friend and fellow Met fan just before the the Atlanta series and both he and I agreed that we would probably not watch the series after watching almost every other game during the season. The inevitability of them being swept, even DeGrom and Scherzer cannot overcome the pact someone with the Mets made with the devil to win the 1986 World Series. It has been 36 years since then and starting in 1987 there have been inevitable collapses. Losing all four games in the Subway Series by one run, starting when a runner assumed a ball was a home run and it was not. Kemp homering off Gooden in the Dodger series. Matt Harvey convincing the manager to let him pitch the ninth in the series against Kansas City resulting in a game one loss. A KC rally which included a bad throw to the plate in the same series. The blown series against the Cardinals with the final out, Beltran, a strike out looking at a hanging curve ball . Losing at 7.5 game lead against the Phils in the last 17 games. The innumerable manager and GM hirings resulting in all sorts of embarrassing information coming out about the hire right after he signs the contract. Even last year, first place through August with a substantial lead and a fold to finish third. 60 years and you have the Miracle Mets of 1969 and the Bill Buckner Ball of 1986 and that is the extent of ;the legacy. So I will not be watching tomorrow and if by some change DeBrom does not get beat 2 to 1 on an error and a homer, I will not be watching Sunday.

samhexum Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Well, now at least the Yanks won't have to be compared to a successful Mets team when THEY get bounced. It wouldn't surprise me if that's by Cleveland, but even if the Yanks win that series, I have zero confidence they'd beat Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samhexum Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 The Phillies almost blew a 7-1 lead. Seattle did blow a 7-1 lead. (fuck Yordan Alvarez!) Of course, this is one of many, many times a team has overcome an 8-1 deficit then blown a 7-1 lead in their next game during the postseason. Very common. Very, very common!

Hilarious, because the Yanks led 13-1 at the time. He's 27, from Long Island, grew up a Mets fan, and is the first Fordham University (Danny Aiello's nephew/ Yankee announcer Michael Kay's alma mater 2ish miles from the stadium) alum to play for the Yanks since 1946.

As disastrous as his first outing was, I still hope the poor guy gets a second chance The Yankees announced their roster for the ALCS, with infielder Oswald Peraza, right-handers Frankie Montas and Greg Weissert as new additions from the ALDS. They will take the place of outfielder Aaron Hicks, who is done for the year, as well as utility player Marwin Gonzalez and left-hander Lucas Luetge. Also of note, infielder DJ LeMahieu and outfielder Andrew Benintendi, both out with injuries, have not been added. Rear view Who approved this?
