Sal and BT had no patience for anyone holding out hope for the Mets' playoff chances. They argued that the team's abysmal performance over the past few months, including a continued inability to play even five hundred baseball, proves they are not a legitimate contender. While other teams might find a way to get hot and make a run, the Mets have consistently choked under pressure. They described the season as a "car wreck in slow motion" that everyone saw coming and stated that even with a talented roster, the team is fundamentally flawed and lacks the ability to string together wins when it matters most.
