The 2024 New York Mets. In the beginning of the season this team had no heart. No identity. No Soul. The team was not fun. For me, it was a chore to go to the games. If I didn't sit with the7line Army and my friends there I wouldn't have gone to many games. The Mets cut the dead weight, made some trades and the team started believing in each other. The pitchers that weren't supposed to be any good got real good. The hitters that no one had faith in became hitters. Grimace made himself a Mets icon. There was controversy over Hailey Welch throwing out a first pitch. A current Met came out with the theme song for these Mets that charted on Billboard. They went to London. This team became fun. Going to games became fun and not the chore that it felt like at the beginning of the season. The playoffs weren't something the fans ever expected this year because this season was just supposed to be a competitive team year but not a playoff team year. The Mets were one step away from going to the World Series after all this craziness this season. Where do they go next year with this to build on? Do they get Juan Soto? Will Pete Alonso come back to the Mets if they don't over pay for him? What about the pitchers?
You know where us fellow Mets fans can discuss this? At the QueensBaseballConvention.com on Saturday December 7th at Four Points Flushing. We have a panel run By Mark Healey. Mark brings in some of today's best media folks to discuss where the Mets are heading in the next season. I don't think we have had such a positive outlook since 2015.
Besides The State of the Mets Panel, we have Panels and Signings by Turk Wendell, Gregg Jefferies, Ray Knight, and Jose Reyes(brought in exclusively by Coach's Sports) along with two panels from SNY and also a Til Mets Do Us Part Podcast panel.
I ended up having a lot of fun this season watching the Mets play after May and. I am really looking forward to next season and this year's QBC. Click here for tix and info. I'm not upset that they didn't win the World Series, would have it been great but the Mets weren't even supposed to be where they were at all.
