Look. I sound like Polyanna here, I know.
But I was viewing a video of a guy lugubriously going through the post-mortem last night with Citifield's lights still on and the seats empty ... "All of a sudden, the Mets season is over ... The Mets were never really in this one ... that led to a somber attitude, somber mood in the clubhouse ... it had a sudden, abrupt, last day of school feeling."
Only after speaking for a minute and 15 seconds does he mention the fact that
the Mets won 101 games and that they kept us all interested through the first week of October.
He did mention that the mood in the clubhouse was melancholy for another reason: "A lot of these Mets may not be back next year." To wit, de Grom, Nimmo, Diaz, Lugo, Bassitt. "Lugo and Nimmo in particular were sentimental about what could be the end of their time with the only professional organization they have ever known, staying in uniform, taking photos with their family on the field."
