I'm not saying the Mets can't win the World Series. I'm not saying the Mets won't win the World Series
I will say that, if the Mets don't win tomorrow, Mendoza's stock plummeted based on one play.
Why wasn't Diaz pitching in the eighth inning, Grady Little? I mean, Carlos Mendoza?
"As everything seems to be coming together, Sal says these Mets have a good shot to be one of the more improbable World Series champions in recent memory."
Errr ... the Texas Rangers from 2023 don't qualify as recent?
“'At this point, I don’t think we can put any ceiling on this team,' Sal said. 'Anything is possible. They continue to show us how good they’ve been. I think they have as good a chance as anybody else to win the World Series.'”
Not true.
Because four teams have already advanced past the first round.
Because: Math.
At the time this article was written, the Mets were a two-game losing streak away from being eliminated from the playoffs.
Now, it's a one-game losing streak.
