I’m not one of those Swifties who say you have to like every one of her songs — or any of them. Different strokes for different folks. But this is one of the stupidest takes I’ve ever seen.

It’s the last game of the season, but do I really wanna be looking at this clown the whole game? #Mets

I know there haven’t been a lot of highlights this year. But one of them, definitely, has been watching Bo Bichette’s defense improve in real time. He now looks like he’s been playing there for years. #Mets

Really wish @mets.com were as good about updating their BlueSky as they are their Twitter/X. There’s some stuff I’d like to share with people who have wisely abandoned that cesspool of hate, but it’s……just not here yet.

I held it together until Howie began crying at the end. Pulled myself back together, backed up the PIX feed to watch the players come out and salute him, and when they played the Beatles lyric, oh I was GONE. What a send-off. Thanks for the memories, Howie. #Mets #MetsSky

At least it’s over. I love Pete, and am glad he got his 300th in the place he never should’ve left, but ….. yeah, I’m very happy to see this series behind us. #Mets

Mike Thompson @mmlthomp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Ok, after hearing Manaea’s postgame interview, I feel kinda bad for the players. How weird it is to be in your home ballpark and your *own fans* are cheering the opposition — even after they tie the game. It’s not the players’ fault Pete isn’t here anymore. #Mets

Pete’s 300th would’ve been a lot more fun had the #Mets not lost.

A rare wrong move by Andy Green in what’s been a pretty impressive turn as the interim manager. There was no need to go to Lavender to start the ninth after he threw 21 pitches just yesterday and you had a pretty rested Tobias Myers in the pen. #Mets

This team has been so much fun to watch lately. Would it have been nice if it had happened a few months earlier? Of course. But better late than never. #Mets

Really, #Mets? This is how you want to play this? “There’s a cold front coming”? I know the object is to sell tickets, but holy crap. How tone deaf can you be?

Yes, the #Mets lost 2 of 3 to the White Sox. But it came down to the bottom of the ninth in both of those losses, and in our win we were dominant. Considering Chicago is a first-place, playoff-bound team, I’m impressed with how we held our own.

I’ve seen enough. Now that Polanco is out for the season, no excuse not to have Alvarez DH and Torrens catch from here on out. #Mets

I don’t wanna say things are grim, but we appear to have entered the “discount beef from mystery country” phase.

Mike Thompson @mmlthomp.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Now that’s a pickle. If you go to the game, you see the ceremony, but you miss the radio call. You stay home ahd listen to the radio call, you miss the ceremony. I’m very glad the #Mets are doing this though. Howie deserves all the celebrations, and more.

Mike Thompson @mmlthomp.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Assuming the 1B situation remains the same going into next season, it’s starting to get really tough to justify starting Polanco over Young. I realize Polanco will probably get the nod due to the contract, but……it’ll be tough. #Mets

“He’s our captain.” — Alvarez on Lindor, in a postgame interview. Yes he is. And we should just officially name him as such. #Mets

This is actually really sad. Yes, Noah’s gone full MAGA now, so my sympathy only extends so far, but this is a portrait of a paranoid man who no longer knows who he is, is aware he’s being used, and desperately wants to recapture what he once had. Captivating read. #Mets www.gq.com/story/noah-s...

I thought about going to the game today but I’m actually really glad I stayed home and watched it on TV. This broadcast had it all: great in-game interviews with players, the set started falling down, Ray Knight dropped an F-bomb, and I’m pretty sure Murph belched out loud on the air. #Mets

I knew he’d never admit to being wrong. That was the weirdest part about all this. I’m guessing Judge Jeanine might be headed back to Fox News soon.

Oh that was the best rain delay theater I’ve ever seen. What a wonderful interview with Howie in the SNY booth. So many terrific stories. I got a lump in my throat just thinking about that final broadcast in September. Howie’s not the only one who’s going to be emotional that day. #Mets

So, so true. It’s utterly depressing. No way this country ever survives another pandemic. We’re ruined.

Yes, I know bullpen arms can be erratic, but with how good he’s been combined with him being under team control until 2030 (!), I hope we hold on to Brazoban past the deadline. #Mets

Even beyond that stupid tagline, are they……doing an origin story for Ebenezer Scrooge? Isn’t the entire “Ghost of Christmas Past” stuff his origin story?? You could argue that most origin stories are unnecessary, but this seems particularly useless.
