I won't lie. If the Mets get knocked out, I'm rooting for the Cubs just for this reason.

Yea I was one of them.

I'm still a little shocked he managed to pull off those deals.

Of course, he still needs to get Rogers to fund a pursuit of a starting pitcher, relievers, fill gaps in the lineup for 2016.

Hopefully the TV ratings are up enough that Rogers sees how much more money a winning team brings in. The extra sellouts probably don't hurt, either.

Considering how bare the farm system now is, they'll probably need to be more active on the free agent market.

I have a feeling the Canadian Dollar could throw a wrench in those expanded budgetary plans

even with all the sellouts and playoff revenue, it has to be hurting

I'm happy for Mets and Cubs fans because I like both franchises, but please don't take out the Blue Jays. This may be our only chance.

You can win another year, deal?

This is the Mets' year.

We probably have the best pitching rotation in baseball and going to kill it in the post-season.

No crappy NLE teams for them to beat up on in the postseason, though. Have you looked at their record outside of the division? They're basically a .500 team with a bloated record thanks to all those games against the Marlins, Braves and Phillies.

Nah, Bro!

Like you gotta factor in they had no hitting until after the Cespedes trade where everyone seemed to figure out how to hit the fucking ball. How many of those games were lost because we couldn't get runs for our pitchers?

Like really bro, LIKE REALLY! DO YOU EVEN MET?

this might have changed since the Nats continue to wither away but about a week ago, I believe the Nats and Mets had the exact same BaseRuns record. In other words the only difference between them was cluster-luck. :lol

I still think the Mets are the team of destiny

Yup, we've always seen teams sneak their way into the postseason and win the World Series. Just for my sake I'm still going to be pessimistic(and yeah, it makes the most sense) but it's always interesting to see some really big time players not show up for the playoffs.

If the Cubs end up winning the World Series, I will have to look to the sky to make sure the 4 horsemen aren't riding.

The GM and Gibbons did a great job in the Trade deadline and managing down the stretch as if they really wanted the team to win, unlike other GMs and Manager who have overstayed their seat for far too long. Injuries didn't help the Yanks for sure, but there is no excuse on how Cashman and Girardi handled themselves down this crucial part of the year.

Congrats to my Jays bros for the clincher, lets hope Yanks can do that as well, but a one game playoff in baseball just makes me barf.

Saw this and was getting a blackout restriction. I'm at work which has a US ip, so who knows what the heck is going on.

Listening via the At Bat app on my phone instead. Great start!!!

Won't the Jays team playing the same two teams under .500 teams through the end of the month just end up affecting them in the postseason by giving them to much confidence?
