It was fun while it lasted - all of it.
April
0-5 in winter weather, nobody at the Field, almost 0-6 until Pete pulled one out in the bottom of the ninth.
Adrian Hauser.
May
Jorge Lopez.
June
11 under .500.
Alvarado.
Lindor to leadoff.
Grimace.
Iglesias.
OMG.
July
Hottest team in baseball. Back in it, but barely. Buyers, not sellers, at the trading deadline. Reinforcements arrive.
August
A mediocre month. Then Lindor homers, breaks up a no-hitter and a sweep in Toronto. Still alive.
September
Every game some sort of pressure cooker. .700 ball turns into signs of a breakdown late. Postponed in ATL, almost knocked out in MIL. Peterson saves the day and the season.
Back to ATL. Need one out of two. Down four, go ahead with six - six! - in the 8th. Eddie gives it right back. Once again, Lindor. Lindor! Playoffs!!
October
Back to MIL, on the road for weeks at this point. Down and almost out. Pete. Opposite field!! The Mets win!!!
PHI. Vientos! Pete!! Lindor!!! Bye-bye Phillies!!!
That ride finally ran out of gas against LAD. But it was so, so fun while it lasted.
Now it's wait until next year. Best of luck to all my Yankees-loving friends.
Next week we'll return to more regularly expected football commentary. But for this week, here's the rankings:
