paul carruthers Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I think I'm done ranting about this, but it's become a prerequisite feeling of dread that if the Mets don't score more than 3 runs, they are toast... 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not even make it to the World Series. off topic a bit but remember reds  with Seaver having best record in strike year, maybe 81? but baseball split records before and after and  Reds didn't make playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know winning the division and getting that bye seems essential, but the playoffs are such a crapshoot and with deGrom getting shelled a bit his last few starts, I'm just feeling not too confident whoever the Mets run up against in October... I know that the Mets are your team as the Cardinals are mine. I do understand your lack of confidence in the Mets as you said it is a crapshoot when it comes to any team that makes it to the playoffs. Just be thankful your Mets (and my Cardinals) made it this far. There are only 12 teams that can make that claim this 2022 baseball season. Of course, as fans of our favorite teams there will always be some apprehension (and dread) that our teams will not achieve the ultimate goal. Luckily for me, the Saint Louis Cardinals always seem to be a dominant and likely team to make a playoff run each year (not always, but usually). Therefore, I have full confidence in the Cardinals this (and every) year. You should to even though I will be rooting against the Mets as the Cardinals will have to play them in the division series once we defeat the Brewers and/or Phillies. If that does not happen, I will still be proud of the 2022 baseball season that the Saint Louis Cardinals had this year. Albert Pujols 701(+) home runs hit. Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina starting together a record of 325 times in both their illustrious careers as Cardinals. All three future first time Baseball Hall of Fame inductees. Alas, the pending retirement of all three at the end of this season. To me, it seems like it is in their destiny to all go out on top for a final time. Notice the seems in italics. With all that being written by me, I do wish your New York Mets good fortune up to a certain point.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Atlanta has the lead at last check. As for the crapshoot reference I think this year if applies more to AL. Â Dodgers and Atlanta are best two in NL right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Anything can happen (obviously), but if I had to make a small wager, I'd ride with the Astros to win it all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul carruthers Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I'm not holding out much hope for that Wild Card series with San Diego. I might just sulk through the whole thing as we probably get eliminated in 2 games...  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul carruthers Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Houston vs. any of the top 3 teams in the NL should make for an interesting World Series.

Â My Orioles gave them fits almost swept them in Houston. Â They can be beat. Â NO more Correa. Â Toronto is dangerous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.  You guys likely get Blake Snell.  Mets might go with Sherzer?  TB may have edge game 1 w McClanahan but after that toss up.  Phillies and Cards could be a slugfest?  Gilbert is tough but Seattle May have worst offense off all teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 So, while the Dodgers, Braves, Astros, and Yankees take a breather during the first round, here are my picks for the Wild Card round. Mets over Padres. Cardinals over Phillies. Rays over Indians. Mariners over Blue Jays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
