NY Mets --- 2024

[Used 2 B Hu]

This team is one of the more resilient squads that I can recall since I became a Mets fan decades ago.

Truly. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, like it always does with this team. One of the few things we could always count on with the Mets is that they will break your heart somehow.

But, since they weren't even expected to be in the playoffs this season, and with the way the year started, they're playing with house money. So it's okay to just enjoy the ride until it's over, whenever that is.
