On July 30, 2021 the Mets woke up in first place with a 3 game lead. Then, under this man’s leadership, they brought back the black jerseys.
That night they lost. The next day a win.
Then….LLL..W..LLLL…
Then they swept the We Gave Up Nationals.
Then the real part of the schedule kicked in: LLLLL W LL
Do I feel bad for the Mets? No. Not at all.
The team is built around Vulgar Pete, a player with whom you can finish 3rd, 4th and 3rd.
Second Choice Louis Rojas missed an 8 team playoff and was brought back.
We were told all those years that if only Sandy Alderson had resources he’d be able to do something with them.
Is JDG a big loss? Yes. Did anyone jump and scream about the Mets letting him throw 100 in March? I think you know the answer.
Even the Mets’ social media account is vulgar now.
So I do not feel bad. Enjoy your black jerseys and your loser baseball team that is SIX games out this morning Steve.
