Fun with numbers. Take #Mets 2nd half at 34-31, flip two losses to wins & extend it over a 162-game season. Those 89 wins make the playoffs. So how about we consider the 1st half an anomaly: injuries to Soto, Lindor, Polanco, Holmes, Semien & adjustment period for Bichette. If there's a 2027 - #LGM!

Good morning #MetsSky and good bye Yankees & Braves. Next, I hope to be able to say good bye Dodgers and then whoever is left, let them battle it out. Enjoy the day and pardon the bad smiling face - hands still a little shaky.

Good morning #MetsSky. On this date in 1961, ground was broken for the baseball cathedral of my youth, Shea Stadium. Lots of great memories in that ballpark. Two of my favorites were Game 5 of the 1973 World Series and Rusty Staub day in 1985. What were yours? #LGM

Good morning #MetsSky. Final round of radiation therapy completed this morning. Recovery starts now, repair starts soon and hopefully, I'll get a couple of rehab starts in the minors before I get called up to ... oh wait, season's over. 😜 Never mind. I hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning #MetsSky. Final game of the year always brings sadness, especially when we don't make the playoffs. It's even sadder for those of us who can't watch because of stupid blackout rules. If nothing else, let the new CBA do away with this stupidity. #LGM & let the off-season rumors begin.

Good morning #MetsSky. If Mets have any chance of getting out of the cellar, they will need help from the Tigers (to beat up on the Nationals) and to win in Texas, then beat the Nationals themselves. Does it matter? Not really, but I'd like to see a little fight in our guys. #LGM Enjoy a great day!

Good morning #MetsSky. Absolutely loved final moments of the broadcast yesterday with the playing of "The End" for Howie Rose. Audio ran commercials so I didn't know about it until I saw video replay on MLB app. Looking forward to opening weekend tribute in '27, if there's a season. Enjoy the day!

Good morning #MetsSky. Overnight, I saw some nice posts about moving forward together & respectfully appreciating each other as #Mets fans. I think anything bringing people together is a good thing, so I adjusted the lyrics a little. I appreciate you all! #LGM Carpe diem!

Good morning #MetsSky. My early mornings at radiation continue. I wish everyone a happy, peaceful, non-confrontational, friendly, no-reason-to-get-upset, amicable, fun-filled, delightful, worry-free, harmonious, love-thy-fellow-Mets-fan and thoroughly enjoyable day. #LGM

Good morning #MetsSky. Will it be poetic justice when Pete hits #300 at CitiField? Probably. I just hope that when Lindor hits his 300th, pundits don't start comparing crowd reactions between the two. It's been a tough enough season. Whether either hits 300 or not, I still hope for #Mets sweep. #LGM

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Good morning #MetsSky. 14 games left. Winning 12 gets us to .500, most likely secures 4th place & maybe even 3rd if Marlins lose enough. Quite a difference from the all-star break. Likely? Probably not. Possible? Yes, it is. Could start today by beating the Crankees. So #LGM and have a great day!

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Off topic - just a side note of thanks to those on #MetsSky who've followed my crazy journey on CaringBridge. Believe it or not, it actually does feel good to be able to share what's happening with others. I try to keep the posts to no more than two per week - even less when possible. THANK YOU.

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Good morning #MetsSky. Glad we took two of three from the Giants, but now I'd like to see a sweep of the Marlins. It starts today with Jonah Tong. Hoping everyone has a wonderful day. #LGM

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Good morning #MetsSky. Radiation therapy begins with a dry run today & then daily ZAPPING for 3-4 weeks. I should be all AGLOW by October. Need to see some SPARK in my #Mets this month. Let their play in these final weeks put a CHARGE in us & not NUKE our dreams for 2027. Show us a RAY of hope! #LGM

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Thanks all. Love seeing three psychos in our OF. Would love Soto to think "Gee I'd like to learn 1B in next year or two". Is BIlly Amick the real deal? Lavender's good!. Ibby from Twitter & I have been on Nate for years! I miss daily chats with you. I'll be back when I can type without neuropathy!

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Hey #MetsSky. When you get a chance, give @nickalto.bsky.social an ATTABOY! He does so much work behind the scenes to keep the MetsSky feed active and almost no one knows. So I'm shooting off my big mouth and asking that you send Nick a bunch of THANK YOU messages for his tireless efforts.

Good morning #MetsSky. Nice to have a little cooler weather to start the day. Have some coffee and enjoy a great day.

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Good morning #MetsSky. Medical morning done. Just need to await blood results in-between naps. #Mets day off today. Tough series continue vs. three division leaders. Can we get into the wild card? Doubt it? Could we get to .500? That would be quite the turnaround. #LGM. Everyone enjoy the off day.

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Good morning #MetsSky. Nice win last night, though Senga did make me a little nervous. Still minimizing typing but reading all feed posts and watching the games, including Tong doing well at AAA yesterday. Good to see. Hope everyone has a terrific day today.

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Good morning #MetsSky. Tough loss last night. Was not happy to see Jefry Yan hopping around without a strikeout. Maybe that act needs to be toned down to happening when he gets the third out? Hope everyone enjoys a wonderful day.

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Good morning #MetsSky. Day off for the team, and probably for me. A little extra rest wouldn't be a bad idea. I hope everyone enjoys a peaceful and happy day. #LGM

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Howdy #MetsSky. Loved sweeping Nats. Padres next, in tough fight for playoffs. Hope we continue to see progress from our guys. Side note: Seeing PCP Friday with laundry list of issues, incl. worsening neuropathy in too many places. Pain management now a priority. Cancer sucks, but we all know that!

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

[From NY Post] Francisco Lindor reflects on his 2017 season to remind himself anything can happen. What would it take for #Mets to make playoffs? Probably nothing less than a 32-13 finish if you use last season as a guide. The Reds earned the NL’s final wild card berth last year with 83 victories.

Bogart: "It's the stuff that dreams are made of".

Winning brings good things, including some names and faces on my timeline that I haven't seen in a while. Welcome back and #LGM

Good morning #MetsSky. Fun game to watch last night. Hoping for another one this afternoon. Nice to see the kids play, and leap, and how about 2 extra base hits from Polanco! Signs of team life are wonderful to see. Maybe it will even lift the spirits of some of our more jaded fans. We'll see. #LGM

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Good day #MetsSky. Time for change! New outlook & goals. On here, new profile, picture & pinned post. Time to rebound from the last several months & regain things I've lost - and dismiss anything negative. Positivity & serenity will guide my way. "Charley 2 - Cancer 0" & I don't want a third match!

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

#MetsSky. Breaking news: Yesterday's PET/CT scan results: "Findings remain consistent with complete metabolic response". In English that means no active lymphoma visible. Next stop, radiation therapy. Consult next week. We now return to our normally schedule baseball conversations. #LGM

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Good morning #MetsSky. Another day, another chance to see young Mets show some stuff. Also another day for a walk. Still short of breath but must to walk to build hemoglobin to increase O2 levels to walk more, but can't walk more until O2 levels increase. Vicious cycle. Get out there & enjoy today!

Good morning #MetsSky. Just one old man's opinion.

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Good morning #MetsSky. Pitchers raise one leg when throwing because If they raised both, they'd fall down. In zebra baseball, three stripes and you're out. It's so hot at Phillies games because there’s not a fan in the place. Jokes! Because if you post same thing every day, people stop reading.

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Good morning #MetsSky. Still fighting my own personal energy crisis so I'll conserve today. Good day for it as weather may be pretty crappy here. Speaking of crappy, are we done with Peralta? Is he hurt? Is it the ABS system? Is it "unbalanced legs"? Whatever it is, make it stop. #LGM Enjoy the day.

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Good morning #MetsSky. Guess who finally got a couple of hours of sleep? It's nice when the steroids finally start to fade. Now I have to wait for the energy to return, which will take time, but I seem to have some! McLean looked terrific yesterday. Nice to take a series, especially vs. PHI. #LGM

Good morning #MetsSky & fellow insomniacs. It's my final day of chemo infusion. Later today, I am going to try to share a short video to our feed. Hope it works. Though the journey's far from over, infusions are done for now. I hope everyone has a great day. #LGM. Start the second half with a win!

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

1973. $10! Loge Level in the right field corner. Crappy pic but that's because the neuropathy in my hands is problematic, but I think you can see enough of it.

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

FWIW: I understand, appreciate & support the zeal of the Blue Voters. One guy sent me three invitations to things by DM, I politely declined twice explaining how I'm avoiding anything stressful during chemo. He never replied or acknowledged. Third invitation, I blocked him. Hated to do it but I did!

220

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Well #MetsSky, since I don't give a damn about the all-star festivities I'll be taking a few nights off from baseball. Just as well - it's chemo week. Maybe I'll get a little sleep before Thursday when high-dose steroids join the party. Hope our POBO makes the right moves to get us ready for 2027.

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Howdy #MetsSky. I'm old. I've used social media since the start - BBS, Usenet, Newsgroups, mIRC & all of today's apps. Sadly, I've watched the level of discourse change for the worse. In today's world that's no surprise. So, THANK YOU to all who avoid insult & name-calling. Stay kind & classy! #LGM

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Good morning #MetsSky. With Mets up 9-4 & Senga on mound, I said to wife "We better score more runs". The Senga as bulk-guy era must end. I want FIVE full-time starters who can at least get into the sixth inning. Senga, Freddy, even Manaea have to meet that need or get out. Tired of shitty starters!

4150

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Good morning #MetsSky although the term good only defines how I hope you feel this morning & NOT to the way my team is playing. I see references to Howie Rose & how unfair it is for him to be retiring on a season like this. How great would it have been hearing this phrase with a World Series win?

Charley @qflea.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Good afternoon #MetsSky. ICYMI, I went off-grid for a week between cycles to re-engage with life. Did some house chores, had lunch out twice, did some walking & other stuff. Chemo cycle #5 started today. I watched most of the games & I'm appalled. DFA the garbage. Let the kids play. Nothing to lose!
