Summary
Sal and BT furiously dismantled the 2025 Mets season, declaring their failure to make the expanded postseason with 83 wins and a massive payroll the most embarrassing season in franchise history. Sal insisted that the collapse—which included the inability to beat the Reds for the final Wild Card spot—was due to a lack of clutchness and character from the core players, not just pitching woes. Both hosts agreed that the team needs a wrecking ball to smash the current foundation and that the team's entire existence was an "absolute mess," making their non-playoff finish an unacceptable disgrace given the talent and spending.

| 0:32.0 | it has to get for them to actually miss the postseason think about it they missed the postseason |
| 0:36.3 | with 83 wins had they won 80 on a tiebreaker had they won 84 games they'd be miss the postseason. Think about it. They missed the postseason with 83 wins. |
| 0:37.5 | Had they won 80 on a tiebreaker. |
| 0:39.4 | Had they won 84 games, they'd be in the postseason. So then I did get off the ship, doing the math with 10 games to go. Either way, whether you want a term of a collapse or the worst team money could buy or the second worst team money could buy. For me, BT, it is after the offseason, after the hope, the excitement, the new direction, |
| 0:57.5 | the expanded postseason, the way that they started the year. It is unquestionably, in my mind, |

| 1:16.3 | Now, there's been other collapses, some with the Mets, some with other teams as well. |
