    Don't let off the gas. Crush their 1.4 billion dollar spirit.

    I like how the Mets are being portrayed as some scrappy/feel-good-story team…. Much like the 2022 Phillies were… when in reality, they have the richest owner in baseball and are less than 1 year removed from having the highest payroll in baseball.

    I wouldn't even be mad if it was an all NY World Series.

    Just don't want the Dodgers to win it all.

    While true, the Mets were never expected to even make the playoffs this year much less the NLCS.

    Yankees up 3-0. Soto hr and 2 wild pitches leading to runs. Although the 1st wild pitch didn’t matter in the end. It was bases loaded and the batter walked so regardless the runner would have scored.


    Who the hell is this Cleveland pitcher??? Walks Torres, then throws 2 wild pitches. So he has 4 in total. Potentially leading up to 3 runs.

    Mets are the only hope. Fcking Indians...score some damn runs. Not watching any of the games ofc, just checking Google once in a while.

    Why would they use Austin hedges as a pinch hitter?

    Verlander and Scherzer would have never agreed to be traded last year if they know how the Mets would be this year...

    I hope they're miserable and have to grind out 18 innings games.
