The Mets were absolute dirt this season. Too much reliance on Verlander and Scherzer before they were traded. They under performed in a massive way, especially when you consider the money they were paid.
Vogelbach is a waste of space too.
It'll be interesting to see who they sign as manager with Showalter gone.

Scherzer was touted as the Mets' saviour in the 2021 trade but did little to show for it. Couple of shut outs but nothing remarkable. He got handed his ass more often than not this year.

They definitely leaned on him too much this season, pinning all hope that he'd right himself along with McNeil and a few others but it didn't happen. Now Scherzer is in Texas with his feet up for the post-season (counting millions of dollars) after getting injured.

Francisco Lindor is probably the one bright light in the Mets' gallery currently. They'll probably trade him... 

Do you ever look up the pitching roster that the Mets have? It's fucking insane in its number - they have more pitchers than some ball clubs have players!

That's a World Series that very few would've predicted at the start of the Sean!

If I were a Phillies fan, I would be inconsolable today. Especially after the way that they saw off Atlanta in the last series round.

MLB can't be too happy. Wanted Astros v Phillies for the ratings. 
Funny sort of season, after all the early hoopla about the AL East, it turned out to be a paper tiger of a decision. As for the Yankees, I think we're looking at some years of mediocrity coming up. Unlike his old man or his brother, Hal Steinbrenner puts making money ahead of winning. Can't imagine George allowing Nike putting their logo on the shirt, never mind that huge Starr Insurance patch.
And I see the Mariners (yet again) and the Cork Renegades won the Irish leagues this season, Cork doing it in their first ever season.

11-0 on the road.
Amazing by the Rangers.

Yep. I was hoping for this series to run to Game 7 (so that I could watch one live game at least).

After a close Game 1 and the way that Arizona performed in Game 2 - I thought that it had legs.

The way that he Rangers did it though was phenomenal.

My wife just got tickets for the London Series in the pre-sale. Hopefully, a better season for the Mets next year will make this a trip to look forward to.

Deadly. The Cubs played in the last London series - looked like great craic.

I'm headed to New York again in July. Mets are on the road, Red Sox are @ Yankees (can't imagine I'll score a decent ticket) so I'm gonna go see the Brooklyn Cyclones. I've been to a few MiLB games and they're a lot of fun. Sometimes more fun than the majots - in the case of the Vancouver Canadians game that I went to a few months ago.
