Sooooo…Max can't hold a lead any better than Jake could. Didn't even get a "quality start".

Aaron Goldsmith said this game was why the Mets got Scherzer. Fail City, then. $78.8 M worth of "aces" and we can't win either game. Now we need Bassitt to save our assitt.

Just think, if we hadn't thrown $43.3 million (per year) at Max, maybe we could have afforded a bat or two. Could have had Freddie Freeman (I hear he's pretty good) for just $27 mill, and let Peterson/Megill have a regular rotation slot. And then we could have spared $700,000 to keep Brandon Drury around.

Or, we could have spent $21 million on Robbie Ray or the same money on Kevin Gausman. Heck, for what Max costs, we could have had them both. Or we could have forked over $16 million for Anthony Rizzo and still had room for Ray or Gausman.

Indeed, we could have had Rizzo and Freddie both for what Max cost. But since you can only have one DH and one 1B and we still need Pete, that's probably not the best plan. But you get my point.

And Lorde, do those bats look dead. I know we're 5th in MLB in runs and 2nd in OBA, but you can't tell it by this. I knew there was zero chance we'd trouble Jansen, after having had a shot at him last night. He's too good to be flakey twice.

Hell, we couldn't even touch Jesse Chavez, and he got waived this year. By the ANGELS. Yoicks.

So if Bassitt does better than the two old men [/bitter], we just would need to sweep the Nats to hang on by the skin of the Tiebreaker.

But if Sunday follows Saturday and Friday's form, then the Noc-a-Homas can pretty much break out the bubbly. All it would take is one win in Florida for them to clinch.

Damn. Here I wanted one last good memory, and I'm thisclose to reliving 1998 and 2007. Fudge.
