Here we are, folks. The 2022 MLB regular season is complete and the Mets are still playing for the first time since 2016. Regardless of how the last month of games has gone for New York, we’d all be taking this outcome if it was told to us back in February.
Manager Buck Showalter’s club won 101 games this year. It’s the franchise’s best regular-season performance since 1986 and the fourth time New York has ever reached the century mark. This is all terrific, but settling for a Wild Card is still tough to swallow after what happened in Atlanta last weekend.
