Sorry, New York Mets, your World Series trophy is in another castle. In fact, rumor has it that it’s receiving treatment in the trainer’s room.
After falling just short of the ultimate prize last season, the Mets were stifled by a fire-breathing Madison Bumgarner in the NL wild-card game. If ever there was a time to know a cheat code, this would have been it. Unfortunately, the Mets went down in flames.
Like we’ll do with every eliminated team in our Game Over series, we’re about to examine what went wrong for the Mets, what went right, what’s the best 2016 memory, what they need to fix and what the future might hold.
