Mets ... is it time to believe?

The Mets started the second half well helped by a soft schedule but they won the two games vs. the Twins too. But, then hurt themselves by losing (in painful fashion) three of four vs. Wild Card (if the longshot brigade) competitor Giants. This seemed a come to earth moment but then basically (one time) didn't lose vs. scrubs. But, hey, the Phils lost two of three vs. the White Sox. Still, the teams are bad and the Mets' past foibles and limited (they HELPED a damn wild card competitor in one of their two moves!) trading deadline made me cynical.

They are now in the midst of a four game series vs. the Marlins (who at times are pesky) and then play (with a break with the Royals) playoff types. Cano is hurt again but guess they are ready: they got to .500 (and DeGrom got a win) and then came back (and Famalia of all people got a win with a clean inning) to sweep a DH (fans at field ecstatic). They are two games from the WC. Do I believe? Sigh. They still have to deal with multiple teams and one place puts their odds under 15% (well better than 1% as they were recently). They have a shot but in '15 they got multiple pieces at the deadline. In '16, they got a bat and later (guess still have time with waivers) a bullpen arm.

I'm just tired of the team having the same shit year after year. Even yesterday, the manager was like "Diaz is our closer" and used him in a four run game and then Lugo for two innings in a one run game. It's so much b.s. And, Cano gets hurt (again.) Just tired of it all. I see them ending well, but not quite, people accepting and hopeful for the future. It's tiring.
