Inherent Vice is a more enjoyable read than Gravity’s Rainbow, which is really hard to love. I gave up too

The defensive errors have cost the Mets at least two games in the past couple of weeks (Miami last month, now this…). Nervous times with the Reds one back

I’m just saying he played clean rather than headline grabbing. One of the 4 TDs was a dump off. Headline should have been the kicker making a 55 and 60 yarder. But that won’t sell papers I guess

He really didn’t play that well - he was fine. Fields played better.

Sproat is going to have to come up, can’t keep rolling half-fit Manea and Senga out every 6 days.

Brewers are the one I would fear the most in the playoffs. Just solid and consistent quality - unlike the Mets…

Oh yeah, 100% possible with this team who can look unbeatable one day, worse than the Rockies the next. Agree with you. But odds are they cling to a WC spot if the bats stay hot (if you made me guess) and I guess anything can happen in Oct

(Unless the Reds sweep them next week)

I don’t know - over the last couple of weeks the team looks pretty great. They lost one to the Marlins because of uncharacteristic errors and the one yesterday because Peterson lost it for the first time this year. Would have to completely freeze to drop 5 games to the Reds/Dbacks

This team just blows really hot and really cold - the only reason this team is 5 games back is because when they went cold this summer, they went ice cold. I don’t think the Phillies, Dodgers etc are better teams on their day. If the Mets get hoy in a month, they can 100% make a run

In the really clutch / do or die moments, he hasn’t really turned it on. He might take a walk, but he hasnt shown up like he did for the Yankees

Would rather have Marte in the OF and Mauricio in the infield with Vientos DHing … feels like a soft lineup
