You can’t even say that they have gone out with a jammer, because a whimmer requires a heartbeat and the Mets this game Flatlined, the same as they have been flat for the past 3 ½ months. A jammer produces a real sound, and in 2 hours and 49 minutes on the last day of this horror of a season, the Mets were just as quiet as a church mouse.
A jammer even requires a minimum amount of oxygen. And what their last sigh of the season would have been … Well, they couldn’t even collect a sigh. They lost 4-0 to the Marlins, who were all game, fist-bumping and happy acting and played the part of the baseball team on the field in Miami’s Loompot Park and played for the pleasure of a play-off place.
Looking at a bit of the team that baseball played 14 ½ matches better than the Mets since mid -June. And so for the 70th time in 70 attempts this year they lost a competition during the retrieval after eight innings. 0-70. That is the most perfect stat of all of all, which reflects a team with a heart problem, an oxygen problem and no answers – literally, none – when good teams find them at least occasionally somewhere.
“Hard to describe,” said Mets -manager Carlos Mendoza in the quiet aftermath of a beautiful baseball flop. “No words to describe what we are going through – pain, frustration, you name it. We came in with many expectations, and here we went home. We were not only deficient, but have not even come in October. This is a team that was not only built to come in October, but deep in October.”
