As of 6/3, the MLB projections showed the Mets with about an 80% probability of making the playoffs.  As of today, their chances are down to 17%

That's weird. You spelled "Red Sox" wrong in the thread title.

He'll be with the rest of the Mets when the playoffs start....on the golf course.

Still month and a half left in the season. Anything can happen with the amazins. But you cant win when you cant keep guys on the field. F'ing half the team is on the DL.

umm.. I'm not sure if I should answer this seriously or not, but could you elaborate what gives you the idea that I hate America?  This should be interesting..

Collins is on borrowed time, not sure he'll make the end of the season.  I don't care how much Cespedes likes to play golf, you don't play golf on game days, especially in this heat.

Collins isn't a good manager so it wouldn't be much of a loss.

No it wouldn't.  Collins was a good manager for the team when the owners couldn't spend money and he had to deal with rookies and misfits but now the team has some great players that need better on field management than Collins can provide.

Mets have been making a pretty nice run at that wild card. Have to think the Cubs and Nationals are the two best teams in the NL, though. Would like to see the Cubs in the WS.

Cubs vs. Indians

 

Then even though I'd be crushed if we lost...I'd at least be happy for the other team.

As I would be for the Cubs. We've both been waiting a long time!

Hey, only one city had to wait 33 years for baseball to even come back to town!

I admit I'm surprised, the Mets actually seem to have a good chance of playing n at  least one post-season game.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
