What Kind of Year Has It Been?

10/13/22 • 40 min

Ah, 2022, the year the Mets won 101 games and made the playoffs with ease. Ah, 2022, the year the Mets blew the division title and were bounced from the postseason almost as soon as they got there. Each of the preceding sentences is true. Which sentiment resonates most? Greg and Jeff retrace the Mets’ steps as well as their own and try to discern how they and perhaps Mets fans en masse will eventually recall this inarguably unforgettable season. No matter how you choose to slice it, 2022 was a year to remember.

A great year gets lost in a lousy finish, but that possibility resides within the fine print any time your team clinches something. Greg and Jeff talk each other through the disappointment, hoping their conversation provides their fellow Mets fans some solace...or perhaps simply something to do for a few minutes until Spring Training approaches anew.

A Less Than Classic Fall

The same postseason that once included the Mets plows ahead to the Fall Classic, where a team the Mets beat 14 of 19 times and finished 14 games behind the Mets will represent the National League — not that we’re hung up on all that feels off this autumn. Nevertheless, Greg and Jeff attempt to make sense of the aftermath of the Mets’ October shortfall; decide whether the trade for Edwin Diaz was absolutely worth it; compile Steve Cohen’s immediate agenda items; and preview the World Series through the prism of ex-Mets pitchers who are now Phillies and Astros.
