10/21 Mets (Matz) @ Cubs (Hammel) 7:07 pm TBS

Yay a positive defensive play

[USSoccer]

Who gives a [expletive] about the regular season? This team along with the 2008 team tore the regular season to [expletive] and both ended with the team forgetting how to hit and pitch. There's zero satisfaction in going out like this regardless of how regular season wins they had

 

Beating the Cards was pretty cool

 

Just have to believe that these things are crap shoots and we just need to make the playoffs every damn year to breakthrough

 

Yeah that was cool, but I don't get the logic of being satisfied showing our asses in the LCS just because they had a nice regular season. Nobody's going to feel satisfied with the memory of beating Cincinatti in June.

Well, the 2008 team didn't even get started in the playoffs. This one managed to beat the Pirates and Cardinals before falling apart. It was pretty cool!

[Hawk4Hall]

I really want to turn this off but I can't. This season has been a blast and even though I'm really down on how this series has gone, I don't want it to end.

 

This season was freaking awesome and I gotta finish with em. Beating the Pirates and Cardinals was pretty damn epic.

 

The last 4 nights have stunk but this season was a fun ride.

This is like the second best team in all of our lifetimes according to the playoffs, why undersell that?

There is no satisfaction to be had in the last four games. But, and I'm not feeling it now, there is plenty to be had for this season. Hell, we've got 38 games against the Pirates and the cardinals next year, and every single one of them I'm going to be able to think back on how we sent them home on the backs of massive dongs. That's pretty satisfying to me.

Given the choice, would you guys lock in an extended run of 90s Braves like dominance if you knew it would yield one title and playoff disappointment the vast majority of the time or would you rather roll the dice and see if we can rip off a couple of titles, or more, with no guarantee that we would win any?

Lester and Arrieta losing the first two games was the death knell of this team. Unfortunately, until the Cubs get some random player that plays out of his ass for the playoffs, this [expletive] is going to happen. Arrieta imploding was the chink in the armor that killed the team's confidence. This series if completely different if we shut them down in game 2.

I dunno, it just happens. Even if Lester and Arrieta had really shut the Mets down, you've still got a very young team that strikes out a lot and was basically being carried by the dong. They had stretches where they went very, very cold this season, and unfortunately another one popped up at a critical time against a team with a great starting rotation.

 

Chalk it up to a learning experience, I guess. At least they're in a good position to succeed again next year (yeah, yeah, I know; and the Nationals were supposed to win the WS this year...)

I want Cueto and Price dammit

6 months of fun plus some playoff fun. This week has sucked but this team has entertained a lot.

No chance I'm turning this game off either, as much as it blows.

so amazing

Like Schwarber?

Jaxon is off the books. That's 12 million freed up correct?

What about her?

 

Props to Ron Coomer calling out the expanded strike zone this series.

I want to pay a ton of money for a guy that wins in the playoffs. Never mind we already tried that one.

I would lock in literally almost any scenario that guaranteed a title.

One title is fine with me

[Fro]

Mets with their first screwup of the series.

[DurbanJer]

This series is some kind of torture porn isn't it.

If you're only going to derive overall from a team if they win the World Series, then you need to lighten up. Enjoy the day-to-day pleasures of baseball. I love it when the Cubs win, and even if the glow of the moment fades with time, I'll always look back on a win with a smile.

You don't want Cueto. Talk about a guy who folds in important games.

[Butterscup1679666578]

ok that's hilarious

[Schwarber Fan]

LMFAO Ross.
