It's sobering to contemplate that the 2024 season may end later tonight. This team, one that very few thought was going to make many waves this season, has given me a lot of joy.
Still, the words of Brian Flanagan from 'Cocktail,' keep rattling around in my head. 'Everything ends badly; otherwise, it would never end.' Perhaps it was some form of advanced karmic payback to have the regular season finish with six games against the Braves and Brewers.
This year, which saw the Mets end on a 65-38 note in the regular season, may finish with the Mets going 3-6 in the last nine games they played. It doesn't seem right.
Every team has to face adversity at some point during the year, whether that's in the regular season or the playoffs. You'd think the Mets already checked off the adversity challenge, having lost their first five games of the season and rallying back from being 11 games under .500 to make the playoffs.
