Foolish people wrote them off. Because foolish people say foolish things and a lot of people are fools. Baseball fans should know better.
But that's the narrative. The Mets were dead and they rose from the dead and almost made the World Series.
I really don't know how much baseball a person would have to consume in a lifetime before they realize that the players and teams go through slumps and streaks. It's somehow more interesting if these normal circumstances occur at the beginning of the season or at the end of the season.
The 2024 Yankees were 11-24 between mid-June and mid-July, if that means anything.
Congratulations! You did it! You played awful baseball for a month!
Then they somehow rebounded to make the World Series and go "toe-to-toe" with the Dodgers after nobody thought they could do that.
They're an inspiration to billionaire owners everywhere who can build a winner with luck, pluck, and billions of dollars.
The Yankees also lost to the White Sox by a score of 12-2 on August 12th. So that probably means the White Sox could have beaten the Dodgers in the World Series.
