For the record, the 2020 MLB season exceeded my expectations ... but my expectations were quite pessimistic, based on anticipated pandemic complications and excessive player opt-outs.

The Mets were probably the most disappointing team in the 2020 season.  

Of course, the Nationals went from World Series Champs to last place ... but ... but ... what am I even talking about?

But the Mets are not embarrassed about the 2020 season.

No one gives the 2020 season any validity.

So no one should be embarrassed.

It's just 60 games.

Sorry, it wasn't the exciting turbo race to the finish that optimists envisioned ... it was just a distraction for diehards, more entertaining than another round of pandemic-fueled Law & Order marathons.

I don't know what to make of the Marlins. I'm not surprised that the Orioles and Marlins rebounded from disastrous 2019 seasons.

The Marlins are a whoop-de-doo 2 games over .500 and -39 in run differential.

Do it again next year; you might get dragged into the 162-game deep end of the pool.
