Met fans in a full-blown panic with their team losing yet again in a non-competitive game in Philadelphia last night. The Giants winning. I'm still not worried. I'm sorry. I'm not going to be worried about a team that's in a playoff spotlight. We can pick apart all that's gone wrong with the New York Mets, the starting pitching and how long it's been that it hasn't been very good since June 13th. The inconsistencies of the offense. I'm at a point, and I've been at this point for a while.

Just get to the playoffs and then we can evaluate this team. Now, is there reason to believe that they're going to win the World Series? Of course not, but they're still in the playoffs, they're still over 500. I'm not, I fully believe they're better than the Giants and Reds. Matter of fact, I think it's more likely they catch the Padres for the second wildcard spot than it is that they missed the playoff. So I am not panicking yet. I don't know what to believe with this team, man. I really don't. I really don't. Let me say this, though. And it's funny, we're talking about this yesterday, like, you know, the Hoff went nuts. And Hoff might be right. We'll see. He thinks it's over. He thinks that the Mets are in the midst of a collapse. He's not alone. I'm not going there yet. But every day that passes where the offense doesn't hit, Manaya gets rocked, other things pop up, Mets lose, other teams win. You've got to at least start with this for me, because there are a million different ways we can split the pie because there's a lot of problems with the Mets right now. If they give the baseball to Shamania again, they're idiots. Now, they very well might, but they are absolutely out of their minds if they give him the baseball, all right? It should be the three kids. It should be Peterson, and it should be Clay Holmes the rest of the way.

He got 17 games to go.

And I know that he stabilized the game, but right away, rocket, rocket, rocket,

Metsdown 4 Zip, all the emotion, all the hope out the window.

17 games to go.

He has been an absolute abject disaster this season with 30-12 runs in 50 innings.

He is batting practice.

The other stuff, we could flush through it all.

Well, do you think they're going to be a playoff team yesterday?

I don't know.

I'll tell you this.

If they give Sean Banaya two more starts, my answer would change to know. Well, nobody knows, but do you think that they're going to be a playoff team? Yes or no? My answer is, if they give Baniah the baseball, no. If they bypass him, then I would say, I still wouldn't say yes. Do you think it's about Sean Manaya? I think Sean Baniah stinks out. He's getting lit up every game. But to me, that is a separate conversation that I'm ready to have with you. I just wanted to get to the playoffs first. You think the Mets' playoffs hinge on Sean Monia? Sal, he gets the baseball every five days. They've got now a two game. They've got a two-game lead now. He is by far the worst starter. McLean's better.

Sprote's better.

Tom's better.

Holmes is better.

Peterson who's not been that time.

He's better.

She's the weakest link, dude.

First of all, I would not have had him in the rotation

prior to last night's start.

I do not think today is the day to be saying he shouldn't be in the rotation because
