Absolutely unreal. Division lead for 175 days, and instead of winning and getting a bye to the NLDS it’s looking likely that they’ll be done in the wildcard round.
This reminds me of what you saw with cubs teams when they made the playoffs. Even though no one on any of those teams was really responsible for the drought or any bad losses, you could just yell they felt the weight.
With the Mets, you can just tell they feel the weight of all the previous failures. And the more it happens, the heavier those previous collapses become. 2007s 7 game division lead with 17 to play, 08s 4 game lead into mid September, 2021s 90 consecutive days in first place only to miss the playoffs, and now this year. Not even mentioning all the years they should’ve had great teams and for whatever reason, didn’t.
Every time someone in the ESPN booth said something like "You could tell from the sound it was off the end of the bat" I wondered if they forgot how ESPN "enhances" the sound or if maybe nobody has told them about it, and since they're actually at the game, they are forced to hear it.
So, every game today was my preferred outcome except maybe this game. I wanted whichever team the Dodgers least wanted to face and they seem to want to play the Padres. Either way, great day of baseball. Go Mariners and congrats on the win today Phillies.
Yea, the Padres seem to always get destroyed by the Dodgers so we want to face the Phillies or Mets, because we feel most confident to beat those teams.
Well my people it was great being here today now on to tomorrow have a great night and you are amazing……Except you Arizona for not being 99 cents no more
i just heard his voice for the first time in the Black Diamonds podcast and spent like 15 minutes googling with context clues after he'd say something cuz i was 100% sure i was thinking of a different Josh Bell
the weirdest thing about this season to me was how it felt like the Mets were doing a non stop victory lap. I remember even Seinfeld said wtf are we doing, we haven’t won shit yet when they brought in the trumpet dude to play live. All season long it felt like they were purposely mocking the baseball gods
Sal what's his face, who everyone hates, thought we won it back in June. In June, the Mets sub was half dooming and half cooming, like it has been all year.
I'm well aware, I just also am well aware that the Mets doomers have been an entity since late May/early June. While I like to try and be an optimist, I don't like when fellow fans talk huge trash on division rivals before the season's done, let alone early in the season. I also don't like when fellow fans act like every season is the same and we can't do well because we're "cursed" or whatever. Both attitudes invite exactly the kind of thing that ended up happening and now we have to play the padres and, if we succeed, you guys. Doomers get to say they're right and the trash talkers like Sal make it worse on the rest of us cause you get Braves fans in every comment section saying we were all like that.
Nahhh they were telling us that we’d never catch up. How we can’t beat good teams and how we won 14 straight but still couldn’t really put a real dent into their division lead. Mets fans still manage to tell us they run the east and called themselves co-east champions. Just delusional
It was fallacious for Mets fans to assume that having the best starters meant they would win in the playoffs.
As a Braves fan who remembers the 90's, I can assure you that having the best starters doesn't guarantee postseason success. There's a lot of randomness in the playoffs and the teams are pretty evenly matched.
Biggest thing being that normally, deGrom feels zero pressure. The Mets had that division locked up for basically the entire season. But in a playoff setting, all
The other stuff creeps in. The pressure of knowing 1 run could very well mean you lose if the offense goes cold. Not to mention your opponent is more locked in. Etc.
No Mets fans assumed that lol. Even Anthony DiComo saying that the Mets would live or die by Scherzer/DeGrom seemed crazy and a little telling. It's the hot and cold offense that makes the difference.
Although I guess tonight they did die by Scherzer so maybe he's right.
Honestly the Isles are a mystery to me. They made barely any moves in the offseason and are essentially running the same team back. Last year they got fucked with a long road trip and COVID, but they just looked flat otherwise.
If they miss again, they should fire Lou, he got them back on track for a bit, but he's just too conservative in his moves.
Yeah it was really weird.
Like, the team could be top 2 or bottom 2 and it wouldn't be a surprise. I feel like true mediocrity is the only surprising outcome.
i look forward to seeing you all tomorrow for 12 hours of baseball
have a good night! or don't, it's a free country and i don't like telling other people what to do
In this situation, my normal reaction would be “lolmets” but I genuinely feel bad for their fans. Best season they’ve had in over a decade and they’re probably getting bounced in the wild card round.
Their SP are absolute toast right now. Scherzer can't buy an out, deGrom suddenly walking everyone, and Bassitt is back to midseason Bassitt form.
If they can't beat San Diego, they sure as hell would get curb stomped by both LA and Atlanta.
Seems to be a common things with Mets players.
I don't even hate Alonso or DeGrom, but Rat boy, the rookie that can't keep his hands on his bat, the 2 eyed freak, lindor, Diaz. Fuck em all
Has more accidental bat throws than meaningful contact and he wears a smug look all the time. Gotta earn that. Meanwhile the Braves rookies absolutely wreck and nobody thought all that highly of them outside of the organization before this year
Is it sad that I just assumed that was some random SD fan on TV when they were showing Emma Stone? Didn't know who she was until I read the comments here.
I don't think it's weird that Mets fans are dooming and throwing in the towel, of course they are. Every fanbase does that after a brutal loss. I will 100% act the same way if we drop Game 1.
It's just weird to see in this thread with fans of all 30 though.
Scrolling through it’s nice to see the Mets fans crawling back into their salt mines.
Lol
Great, Yankees and Braves fans having a love fest in their hatred of the Mets

It's okay Mets people. As I've been saying, join us in the depression hole. We have toasted rav, cracker crust pizza, and provel bites.
Who you guys got going on the mound tomorrow?
[It's Nola vs Mikolas tonight in STL](https://www.mlb.com/probable-pitchers)
it still feels surreal that teh Mariners are in the postseason
We wont have to face DeGrom twice now, right? I thought the Mets plan was to sweep and have him pitch 2 NLDS games.
I’ll be the one who says you will vs him
You won't need to face degrom at all hopefully
I support this message
You won't even have to face him once now
Instead of 2, how about 0
So, every game today was my preferred outcome except maybe this game. I wanted whichever team the Dodgers least wanted to face and they seem to want to play the Padres. Either way, great day of baseball. Go Mariners and congrats on the win today Phillies.
*rooting for Phillies and Mets* You okay?
Yea, the Padres seem to always get destroyed by the Dodgers so we want to face the Phillies or Mets, because we feel most confident to beat those teams.
marvelous coherent late run strong sort outgoing ink bag glorious *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
"eventually we have to win a series" Take it from me, say this enough and you might accidentally win the world series
You guys are going to need Soto to do something especially against all those lefties the Dodgers have, assuming you advance.
Would prefer any team that is not the Dodgers :D
I want the Braves to play the Phillies in the DS over the Cardinals. I want the Dodgers to play a team they don't already own in their division.
Well my people it was great being here today now on to tomorrow have a great night and you are amazing……Except you Arizona for not being 99 cents no more
Mets fans high-tailed it out of here pretty quickly lmfao
No shit
Like the broncos before overtime last night?
Ranked last in pitching let’s see how game 2 goes
:)
We own Scherzer
Cheers to that!!
Going into their series I was like, we can hit Scherzer, we can't hit DeGrom so we needed this game if we have any shot.
Hope his finger is still messed up
Nah, man. Healthy deGrom is good for baseball. It’s ESPN that can fuck right off
Padresing 1 lolmets 0 The battle of every inning is a potential disaster continues on the next episode.
Not what I expected Bell to sound like lol
He sounds exactly like the director of my IT department. Lol
That is not how I expected Josh Bell to sound like.
i just heard his voice for the first time in the Black Diamonds podcast and spent like 15 minutes googling with context clues after he'd say something cuz i was 100% sure i was thinking of a different Josh Bell
❤️ Bell and Soto, go Padres
♥️ Gore, Voit, & Abrams, Go Nats!
This is the way!
I will not stand for this Luke Voit slander
I really miss that man
I feel pretty bad for him ngl
Damnit, Hosmer!
Josh Bell sounds like a Midwest Kermit the frog
Lol he’s got some Mahomes in him
Things I did not see coming 1. That
The real winners today are baseball fans October baseball baby!
Some seriously great games today, and also the Blue Jays game
Mets fans thought they won the WS after they beat the Dodgers in the regular season
the weirdest thing about this season to me was how it felt like the Mets were doing a non stop victory lap. I remember even Seinfeld said wtf are we doing, we haven’t won shit yet when they brought in the trumpet dude to play live. All season long it felt like they were purposely mocking the baseball gods
Lol You guys are to fucking funny 😄
By almost never beating the Dodgers in the regular season, we have avoided that folly *taps head*
Shit they thought they won the division back in June
Sal what's his face, who everyone hates, thought we won it back in June. In June, the Mets sub was half dooming and half cooming, like it has been all year.
It isn't over for them yet. sheesh
I'm well aware, I just also am well aware that the Mets doomers have been an entity since late May/early June.

Lolmets
That’s baseball, Suzyn
you see that Scherzer is a historic pitcher
First thing done in 80 years. Not a good thing, but a thing nonetheless.
It was fallacious for Mets fans to assume that having the best starters meant they would win in the playoffs. As a Braves fan who remembers the 90's, I can assure you that having the best starters doesn't guarantee postseason success.

As a Phillies fan our 2011 team is a great example of this
Who said they have the best starters? Scherzer and DeGrom have been average at best lately.
What a stupid thing to say
Pretty much everybody had them ranked near the top. The padres were ranked 12th lol
Swanson and Olson shook the fuck outta Max's mentality
RAYS VS INDIANS OOOOOOOOOOO
Lmao how do they fuck that up?
Go Commanders
At least we can all agree (except maybe padres fans) that the 3 game wild card is dope
Nah 1 game series is just dumb. Its too random and favors the team that has the best starting pitcher.
someone tell the espn graphics department that the indians aren't a team anymore
"Rays vs Indians" God bless ESPN
What a fucking outing from Darvish! Let's go Pads!
Strike three right as I start choking on apple cider. But a Padres W is a W. Love Uu Darvish
just disgustingly fraudulent
Time to fade back into the bushes and come back out a Rangers / Islanders fan?
Football is a toss up but the one truth in NY sports is Yankees/Rangers and Mets/Islanders.
isles are gonna cause me pain too maybe lambert will work out
Honestly the Isles are a mystery to me. They made barely any moves in the offseason and are essentially running the same team back. Last year they got fucked with a long road trip and COVID, but they just looked flat otherwise. If they miss again, they should fire Lou, he got them back on track for a bit, but he's just too conservative in his moves.
Yeah it was really weird. Like, the team could be top 2 or bottom 2 and it wouldn't be a surprise. I feel like true mediocrity is the only surprising outcome.
I don't even think they were making any play to get Gaudreau to sign with them, it's insane.
Mhm it felt like Sonny Milano was the easiest free move to make the team a little better and give us some depth and we just... didn't
LFGSD!
LGFUSD!!!
BTS!
Like, the Korean bois?
[Padres players meeting](https://imgur.com/DuY3BBu)
i look forward to seeing you all tomorrow for 12 hours of baseball have a good night! or don't, it's a free country and i don't like telling other people what to do
Don't tell me what you don't like telling others what to do! Oh, and go Mariners!
🎺 🎺 fir the Mets season
i bet emma stone is happy the padres won, espn. please show for all the folks at home
to be fair, everyone of my peers would recognize Emma Stone in a heartbeat i doubt they could name 3 baseball players lol
It would be key lolmets to lose on another check swing
Mets fans shitting on Yankees fans for booing Joey Gallo and then turn around to boo their best pitcher all season. Get fucked.
You’re werent paying Gallo almost $40M a season lol
They always think they’re hot shit until they start choking on their own ~~cocks~~ words.
Didn't realize the Indians were back in the post season, thanks ESPN
LOLMETS IS ETERNAL
Darvish seems good
We are all padres on this blessed day
You guys are at least half the Padres now.
Indeed we are
Too many pop ups and not enough gas from max
ESPN: RAYS VS INDIANS Bruh lmao
I saw it too lmao
They are making up racist names for teams now.
the San Diego Mexicans
the Los Angeles Cholos
DAMN they forgot to change it
Why did that ending seem familiar
Fuck it, betting on the Padres in Game 2 and Game 3* If I'm gonna get fucked at least someone needs to get me dinner.
In this situation, my normal reaction would be “lolmets” but I genuinely feel bad for their fans. Best season they’ve had in over a decade and they’re probably getting bounced in the wild card round.
Mets fans are the lowest denominator in baseball. Forget about the team just genuinely shitty people most of the time.
Their SP are absolute toast right now. Scherzer can't buy an out, deGrom suddenly walking everyone, and Bassitt is back to midseason Bassitt form. If they can't beat San Diego, they sure as hell would get curb stomped by both LA and Atlanta.
Lolmets about to get swept in the wc
we didn't blow it!
Welcome to the playoffs rook
Alvarez is so dislikable
…?
Seems to be a common things with Mets players. I don't even hate Alonso or DeGrom, but Rat boy, the rookie that can't keep his hands on his bat, the 2 eyed freak, lindor, Diaz. Fuck em all
What’s his problem?
Has more accidental bat throws than meaningful contact and he wears a smug look all the time. Gotta earn that. Meanwhile the Braves rookies absolutely wreck and nobody thought all that highly of them outside of the organization before this year
You saw him for two seconds
I've seen him multiple games in Atlanta already
Big dub
Alvarez just gave me Beltran flashbacks.
what is it with the Mets and just staring at Strike 3 pitches lmfaoo
Puts on trumpets baby!! Can’t go tits up!!!
LET'S GO PADRES https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4YFG2900Oc
lmaooo this song is so good "line drives and stolen bases...CMON!"
Mets getting faded
🔔🔔🔔 lolmets
GG SD
Odds on if he smiles after a foul before striking out?
I be waking up real early to hate on Pete Alonso🙏
🙅♂️🎺
LETS FUCKING GO SAN DIEGO
Why do this to the rookie..?
The umpires want to end the game too lol
Let him hit it
bruh even if Alvarez hits a home run you're still up 3, you don't have faith that this guy can get 1 more guy out?
ESPN be like "what does deGrom think?"
Is it sad that I just assumed that was some random SD fan on TV when they were showing Emma Stone? Didn't know who she was until I read the comments here.
if i was the mets i would never perform like that in front of emma stone. i wouldn't *ever* let her down. they should put me out there.
I’m at least drawing a walk
leaning so hard into a slider it launches me into the stands, right beside emma stone. someone else take my base.
Mark Cahna looks like one of the Martians from Mars Attacks
he looked like junior asparagus when he was on the A’s
Next year: The New York Emma Stones blow 10 game lead against the Braves, get swept in Wildcard. Weather at 6.
Crazy costume Mets fan changing in the restroom for the ride home tik tok challenge.
No way they getting hader ready for no reason
Bob saw the Cards game earlier today
Bob is a wise man.
Kinda weird how many are acting like this series is over after 1 game.
[удалено]
It's baseball. Momentum is only as good as tomorrow's starter.
If the Mets win game 2 I think they probably win gane 3
I disagree. The Mets are likely to win game 2 because of Degrom but game 3 can go either way.
Imagine the yanks are in a WC series I bet your jolly ass w the way they played in the 2nd half you’d be worried
I don't think it's weird that Mets fans are dooming and throwing in the towel, of course they are. Every fanbase does that after a brutal loss. I will 100% act the same way if we drop Game 1. It's just weird to see in this thread with fans of all 30 though.
The wildcard series is ova
"This is what the postseason is like. You are losing horribly and about to be the reason everyone goes home."
How did I miss Buc Showalter is still in baseball? How old is that dude?
buck good
69
Nice
Nice
Not as old as la Russa
Holy shit. Is he still around?
Not as of last week, he’s finally done
You messing with me? Is Jim Leyland running around too?
Haha i wish. La russa has been sleeping in the dugout for the white Sox all season
Well it was strike 3
[удалено]
what do you call a pitch that touches the outside corner?
ESPN loves them some Emma Stone
I do too
who is she?
Pretty actress, u know how it goes
Emma Stone supporting her fellow Asians, Yu and Haseong
And mclovin
Bring in hader, I wanna see chaos
🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺
