I hadn't heard that about Gary. I know Howie wants to,but he's hanging on, hoping to call a WS win.

I know we’re mourning, Mets friends. This season hurt.

But let’s keep our chins up. The future is bright.

I send wishes for ☮️ to you all, along with my thanks for your good company throughout this past season. It’s been fun taking the ride with you.

The New York Mets' collapse is one of the worst you'll ever see. Despite being 21 games over .500 in June and owning baseball's best record at the time, the Mets failed to make the playoffs. Making things worse, no one "chased" them down. They just blew it.

It’s over. ☹️
This loss personified the season. Poor pitching. Brownout O. No hits w RISP. Never came back to win when down in the 9th.
And the coup de grace? Once again giving success away (to the Reds this time) when they had the chance to grab it, following a season-long pattern.

Reds lose.
