They had their chances and pissed it away. Could have tied Chicago for the first out of the WC. A Brewers win puts them 4.5 GB with 8 games left. McNeil was especially bad today and it summed up his second half. He's gone away from what got him to the major leagues.

Don't want to hear that Wilson and Lugo can't be perfect all of the time. Against batters like Jedd Gyorko and Christian Colon, you need to send them back to the dugout. They're not exempt from criticism.

The season is officially over.

If y'all have to offer Syndergaard, Diaz, Mauricio and a lower level pitching prospect for Mookie, do it.

Our offense and pitching is good, it's the pen that's the problem.
Spend money on a reliever, try to compete for another year or two before the inevitable rebuild.

Not for one year. He'd have to sign an extension.
Well of course, but it's basically choosing to re-up Betts over Syndergaard, so yes, an extension is necessary.

C Ramos
1B Alonso
2B Cano
SS Rosario
3B McNeil
LF Cespedes /Davis
CF Betts
RF Conforto

Sign Betances to a 2 year deal with a vesting option for year 3
Sign a #5 starter
one more pen arm /one more depth rotation piece.

Y'all need a CF in the worst way though. And this team admittedly isn't THAT far away. With an all-time bad bullpen, y'all won't be officially out of it til the last week of the season.

Mookie is a superstar, but Nimmo and Conforto are very good. I don't think JD is that good of a hitter, but the three of them will net at least 8 WAR together next year if healthy.
Just spend 15-20 mil to get Chapman, and the Mets are a legit threat to win the NL East.

Hechevarria thanked God for taking him off of the Mets and putting him on the Braves. Hopefully that white bytch he's with takes him for everything.

We'd need TWO more rotation guys, because we all know Wheelers not coming back. Also, I don't think Cespedes plays another inning for the Mets.. ever. So Nimmo can go to left and platoon with JD Davis. Mookie would be in center with Conforto in right.

We'd need more than Chapman to fix the bullpen.. plus I agree. I don't think he's going anywhere.
