The New York Mets aren’t going anywhere this season. They might oscillate around the .500 mark for a few more months. But who’s kidding? This team is not built to be a contender this year and that was obvious over the course of two strange nights.
On Thursday, the Mets and St. Louis Cardinals played through a potential rain delay long enough for Edwin Diaz to give up two runs in the top of the ninth. Mother Nature would have the final say on Thursday and the game was suspended until Friday.
