I’m out on my deck for the first time all year, and yep I’m wearing a Mets sweatshirt (Blue with Mets in white, the one with Mets in orange is in the wash) so it’s not like I’m not still a fan but…
It’s what, April 17th? Even if my worst fears i didn’t see this coming. I don’t know what to build off. I don’t know which pitcher to rally behind. I don’t know which batters to root for.
I look at the math. It terrifies me.
6 back. Teams to pass. A week of wins away from .500
Want 85 wins? Time to go .551 the rest of the way playing 81-66 ball.
86-61 for 90 wins. Thats .585 ball 91 wins got you the WC in 2010.
I know one of you will tell me the 1894 Superbas were 32 out with 36 left to play (or some other unlikely rare scenario) but stilly won, but these games in April matter folks.
Jokes aside but there may not be meaningful games in April!
This is not good. Not good at all. If any team ever needed an early mini 4 game winning streak it’s this one.
