It’s been a nice run since I brought up The Math, but unfortunately kids, The Math is back.
What’s The Math you ask? It’s where I show you what the Mets need to do to get to a certain point and then you refuse to accept it.
The Mets are playing .515 ball and are three games over. If they keep playing at this pace they will win 83 games.
Let’s aim for 90 wins. With 59 games left in the season, they would need to go 37-22 to get to 90. That’s .627 ball. I even thought that was wrong so I did it again. .627, which is the equivalent of playing like a 101 win team.
I’m going to stop there and not even crunch the numbers on what the teams ahead of the Mets would need to do to get to 90, and forget about Daniel Murphy’s Nationals.
This team is dead. I know they are close in the race for the second wild card but you watch the games.
Cespedes is hurt. They picked a guy off the street and started him in CF.
They are dead.
I don’t want them to be dead, I don’t like that they are dead, but they are dead. It’s over. It’s just a matter of when you choose to accept it.
