Sometimes it is best to admit when you got it horribly wrong, as I did with the 2024 Mets. Plus, Paul Blackburn impresses on the mound as New York opens up the road trip with a win...
I thought the Mets had a reasonable shot at the playoffs before the season began. I figured the line-up was good, the pen decent, and the rotation (with Senga) okay. I along with most figured after they fell ten under that they were done. Happy to see they were not. Looking at tiebreakers, the Padres tiebreaker can be very important. And they are in a good position there.
As I quoted Tug when things were bad in May, " YA GOTTA BELIEVE"! The Mets are no better or worse than the teams they are contending with this year. So let's enjoy the trials and tribulations!!
It's much too early to be offering up a "mea culpa" on your prediction. This team is just as capable of going in the tank for ten days as they are reeling off five in a row. I'd wait until after this ridiculous road swing before I officially buy into this team being a contender.
You get a free pass!
