A RECURRING, NAUSEATING NIGHTMARE
I have this recurring nightmare. In it, the Mets collapse yet again.
It is just a bad dream, I surmise, and I roll over and go back to sleep.
But…it felt so real…you know? This collapse thing. I feel so nauseous.

If they lose again tomorrow, it is reality. But, still, it depends on what others do. If they win, then it was just a nightmare. For the first time this year, a reality hit me: the Brewers are actually pretty good and not a result of their shitty division.
ReplyDeleteThis was the first playoff game of the year for the Mets, and first ever for Sean Manaea. He had nerves and served it up in the first inning. That cannot happen again, and it is hoped he got it out of his system. The lineup went back to sleep, in the manner of which they slept in Atlanta. Yes, they woke up at the end but the Brewers made the defensive plays they had to make and their pitchers shut them down when they had to.
Stearns said in an pregame interview that the Brewers are a very good, young, talented team. I’m happy for them. It on the Mets now to earn their playoff spot. If they don’t, I would make some big changes because I realize:
1. When the heat is on, this group folds.
2. They need to get younger, faster, hungrier. And not just lip service.
