The year is 2027. Jacob deGrom is set to win his 10th consecutive deGrom, as the award is now named after him. He allowed 3 runs throughout the 2027 season for a 0.11 ERA. His win-loss record was 3-3 with 30 ND as the Mets went 50-112. He does not win the award unanimously.

Had a chance to say David Wright, had a chance to lift up a current teammate, had a chance to prove he can count, failed to do any.
Harrison Bader says that his Mount Rushmore of New York athletes includes Derek Jeter, Aaron Judge and Anthony Volpe.

Imagine you're Alex Cohen. You find yourself a nice Jewish boy that works with the stocks downtown. You get married. 30 years later you're wearing goggles and a blanket because you're getting drenched in champagne by a pro baseball player nicknamed "Candelita".

The universal DH is an NL-east conspiracy to get Jacob deGrom out of the batter's box. Cowards.

There’s two types of Mets fans regarding Matt Harvey: . - Those who see the sacrifice and years of effort he put into his time as a Met and wish the best for him wherever he plays . and,. - Those who are wrong.

This ump is expanding the zone for Wheeler, squeezed Senga, and New York already missed an easy overturn on a Mets challenge. You think MLB wants the Mets to lose this series or what.

This is going to be unpopular but. you bought Max Scherzer for THIS game. The Mets don't win 101 without him but they 100% make the playoffs without him. They're in the same position without him. You got him for THIS game. And he blew it.

It really doesn't. It's the most boring, corporate, predictable blah World Series I can remember.
It's the kind of matchup that deserves its own documentary. The @Dodgers and @Yankees will face off in the 2024 World Series and we'll be on the ground capturing it all. Coming soon to Apple TV+

I’m in a tiny era of Mets fans who have experienced the heartbreak of the late 90s and 2000, the collapses of ‘07/‘08, and everything since but ISN’T old enough to have seen a championship. Unless this describes you OR you’re going to empathize, please don’t talk to me tonight.

The Mets are down two in the 3rd inning of the first game of an important series against a team they’re two games ahead of for a playoff spot and every Mets fan that isn’t like 11 feels like they’re 100% missing the playoffs entirely now. THAT’S what being a Mets fan is like.

Zack Wheeler left for free agency. The Mets got a 2nd round pick in 2020 as compensation. That pick, Isaiah Greene, was one of the players the Mets sent to Cleveland for Francisco Lindor, who is very good at the baseball.

Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer--the two best pitchers of an era--will pitch together in orange and blue next year for The New York Mets. Steve Cohen got his man.

Francisco Lindor is quickly approaching what I believe is the most talented player I've ever seen suit up for the Mets. His only competition at this point is David Wright and it's getting closer by the day.

The dodgers entire approach at the plate is “don’t swing, they’ll walk you” and on the mound is “throw strikes, they won’t swing at them”. It’s game 4 and the Mets haven’t figured that out yet and it’s tough to watch.

Okay please tell me if any other Mets fan feels this:. This team is good. They're resilient and getting by without their best (now two) starters. Maybe it's just a lifetime of following this team but does anyone else feel like the bottom is just going to fall out this season?.

Jacob deGrom had a chance to be this era's Tom Seaver and a rare player to spend his entire career with one team. Many will congratulate him on a massive deal but I can't help but think Cohen would have matched it. I will always cherish the memories. But what the hell, Jake.

The Mets are still in first place but it's not a large enough of a lead to be safe. I'd like a 7 game lead or so by September 13th. That'll be up 7 with 17 to play. No way even the Mets could blow a lead like that.
