For the Mets, being “just good enough” isn’t good enough
Once again, the 2019 New York Mets have been just good enough to keep the fans interested. This isn’t good enough anymore.
The 2019 New York Mets season had a chance to become a special year. Just as we all believed their playoff hopes were dead, the team went on an amazing run to begin the second half of the season. They didn’t sell at the trade deadline, instead opting to add Marcus Stroman in a deal with the Toronto Blue Jays.
For a good part of August, the Mets were back in the playoff race. They continued to win games with regularity. Often, those victories included some triumphant comebacks. The season looked like it made its 180-degree turn practically overnight.
