Cincinnati Reds: 5th NLCS berth
1901 1903 1909 1919 1920
You win 119 games, you’re the best team in baseball all year, the pitching, the hitting, everything’s there… and then what happens? You blow it at home to the freakin’ Cincinnati Reds! THE REDS! At Citi Field! Game 5! You give up a FIVE-SPOT in the fifth inning, season over. Unbelievable.
I mean, look at this: 14 hits, the Mets get 14 hits… and they score five runs. Meanwhile, the Reds get seven hits, SEVEN, and they score eight! That’s the difference, bro. The Mets left ten guys on base, every chance to bury ‘em, couldn’t do it. Contreras doubles twice, Grohman has three hits, Sloan hits a bomb… and none of it matters because the pitching completely collapses.
Luke Peters? Thanks for coming. You give up five runs in six innings, huge inning in the fifth, game’s basically over. Then Lopez comes in, gives up the back-breaking homer to Ocasio, and forget it, lights out. Season’s done.
It’s the same garbage every year with this team! You get your hopes up, they make you believe, and then BOOM—they rip your heart out in October. Bro, I’m telling you, it’s in the DNA of this franchise. 119 wins, the best team in baseball, and they can’t even get out of the first round. DISGRACE!
Now we’re sitting here, Mets fans, watching the Reds and Padres in the NLCS. THE PADRES! The Mets are home, golfing, after one of the greatest regular seasons in history. Bro… I’m done. I’m absolutely done.
