We had good news today in the Giants-Bears game, so hopefully things carry over into this game. The third and final game of this series starts in a little over an hour. It's the last chance for the Mets to exit this series the same way they entered it: in control of their destiny to win the division. The game will be on ESPN and is the game of the year up until this point for the Mets.
Lindor and McNeil are hitting 2nd and 3rd respectively. Pete's back at cleanup an Escobar is hitting behind him. McCann is catching and hitting 9th. Luis G is at 2B. Vogey's DHing again and hitting 6th. Wish Marte was here. The friggin Pirates may hav cost Marte the season if this keeps up. Bottom line: multiple players in the Mets' lineup need to step up tonight or their hopes for the division which they lead for almost all of this season are toast.
If the Braves win tonight, they can clinch the division tomorrow with a victory in Miami. Their magic number to win the division would be just one. Now if the Mets win the game tonight, their magic number would be 3 going into the last series of the season against the Nats at Citi. none of that matters though unless they win this game tonight. The other 5 MLB division raves have been decided. This one is at a tipping point tonight, one way or the other.

Mets Morning News: Pocket aces not enough this time 
He's been behind on the count consistently, all game.

I’d say unbelievable, but it’s not

WTF was that?!
There you go, they take the lead, just awful. Awful, awful, awful.
Terribly frustrating series
Mets just not coming up with big hits and Braves have come up with every one of them
Time to start preparing for Padres?
Outhit Braves 8-3 but behind by a run

You lose.

He was 0-2 on the batter, and he lost him. Very discouraging.
Not a lack of caring or effort, they are just as disappointed in themselves as we are
Worst case scenario looks like it's about to happen
though I have little faith in May
the offense hasn't kept up with atlanta but 3 days in a row the Sp couldn't put up shut down innings.
honestly at this point im starting to think they need to get the wild card just to get more games to hopefully figure out how to not play like crap.

I don't feel sorry for them at all.
This is why they get paid the big bucks.

I don’t feel bad for them. They are getting paid 50+ million between them this season and they absolutely shit the bed.
Pathetic.
Moze, you're right. I'm just frustrated, disappointed and sad, that a great season has come down to this, but bottom line, I think you're right.

Too many good moments this year to say anything bad about them, I think you guys are just letting your frustration come out.

It sucks.
Was so excited after that comeback vs Marlins. None of us expected to come get swept...
But if we were told we'd win 98-101 games and get the top WC spot in March, we'd all sign up for that

Context is everything; they had a 10.5 game lead, so no we don’t feel good about not winning the division and settling for the WC.

Right which is why I'm telling you to take a step back and look at the big picture
I think point of post went over your head man
So far its been a total choke job - 3 best starters and they all pitch well below their level, no one can hit with runners in scoring position
15-12 in September and most of it against the worst teams in the league
It's hard to like a team that chokes, no matter what they did before.
Oh, shut the F up seriously. You're a douche.

Speedy, you're right. They had a 10.5 game lead, and they lost it, and it's frustrating and sad.
Regardless of what happens in the game, I want to let you all know how much I've enjoyed and appreciated watching this years games with all of you.
Really, Thank You!

Yeesh

They oughta tell baseball they are turning down the WC spot since they dont deserve to be in the playoffs after this pathetic showing [...]
Oh, shut the F up seriously. You're a douche.
and that guy should not watch or post come this friday.
Their top 3 starters let them down. They are built off the backs of those 3 guys. They lined it all up perfect for them and none of them got it done. Disaster.
BUT...they are still in the playoffs. So they have to shake it off and realize they can still do something if they play up to their capabilities.
If they don't then this will be one of the most disappointing endings to a season for the franchise ever. If not the most disappointing.
Biggest payroll this year and still yet non competitive
Lol dude..non competitive??
