The reason we Mets fans are angry about this collapse is because of the time wasted being invested in this team. At the beginning of the year Cohen complained about the attendance at Citi field last year. Mets faithful rewarded him with a packed house early in this cold months and through the summer and this is what they have given us. No names starting games and a bullpen that will find ways to lose when a starting pitcher finally has a good start. There has been no fight in this team all season with the 0-fer comebacks after the 6th inning. We should all feel betrayed even if this team somehow makes the playoffs it will still feel hollow. Speaking delusionally now should they somehow get in and win the WS. It’s not going to ring as a championship earned. It’ll be the luckiest team ever to win it all.
The Reds and Giants (who still have several games against the Dodgers, who apparently aren't that bad) keep leaving the Mets a chance. The Mets have sucked for months. And they STILL (except for a few hours) have a playoff spot. It's almost cruel.
People were mad that Mendoza took out Sproat. His reasoning sounds valid. Are we going to hurt the development of this guy to try to get a third wild card? And the game would have been won if Diaz had gotten four outs. The team finds a way to lose.
I suppose they will bring back Senga and send back Tong?
Bruce demonstrated to Carlos how to manage and win a close game. The home half of the 7th and 8th innings are seminars on how a professional team is not supposed to execute. What a disaster, wasting a terrific outing by a young pitcher. I don't subscribe to not putting him out in the 7th with the theories that a young pitcher needs to leave a game in a successful situation. The other theory is you wasted a gutty performance and let him watch the team blow it up. Though they are lousy and awful, I'm still rooting for them to pick it up and get in.
In fairness to Rogers, he made Josh Smith look silly prior to the catcher’s interference call, and would probably had a clean inning without that. Coughing up the lead is on Diaz, who has been excellent all year. Also, Tong needs to get more movement on his fastball, which looks extremely straight to me.

Some questions
Why was Sproat pulled after 6 SHUTOUT INNINGS snd only 70 pitches. He could have went 8 throwing 100 pitches.
For the 2nd day in s row, Alverez shows he shouldn't be the Starting Catcher.
As combining Offense and Defense, the elite Torrens is far and away better than Alverez everyday of the week
On Alonso, do you want him to sign Long Term for Crazy Money. Especially as he only does like 2 of 10 good things Soto does
Could Vientos replace Alonso at 1B
But on Alonso, another chance for him to make s difference in the 7 8 9 inning if a game
But Alonso as the game winning run in the 9th. Doesn't homer but Strikes out. Which left the game up to Vientos who also struck out
An ice cold Matre should be benched
Baty should play everyday
Taylor and McNeil AND ACUNA should play everyday in CF
DFA MULLINS
DFA SITI
FIRE METS GM OVER THE HORRIBLE 7/31 TRADES
FIRED MANAGER FOR EVERYTHING HE DOES GROM THE LINEUP TO GAME MOVES TO HIS PATHETIC POST GAME PRESS CONFERENCES
PROBABLY MISSED SOME BUT THAT IS JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD
I love the Mets, but even I stopped watching them. There's always next year!

Rogers is going to have some men on base & it's unfair to give him extra outs.
The team had two runs on 11 hits. That's not good. That loss is on the batters and Diaz.
