The Mets 2023 season has just a handful of games remaining. Mostly it was a dark season but ending in the general area of .500 is a mere disappointment, rather than a slide into an abyss. The biggest reasons to just exhale, and prep for 2024 is the brightness of the team – the good [...]
The Phillies started a lefty and the Mets predictably fell apart, managing just three hits, as they fell to the Phillies, 5-2, Sunday night in Philadelphia.
