Tweetball
Hello, peeps.
So the Metsโ season officially ended yesterday. SADNESS!
As Iโve mentioned, Twitter is basically my baseball info hub, and most of my liked Tweets are baseball-related (the rest are math/stats-related, walking-related, or PRIMO MEME CONTENT).
So as a little tribute to the end of the regular season, I present the Metsโ 2019 season in Tweet form! Enjoy.

ALONSO SMASH!
Such a cool moment.
That is all.
Yo
Cespedes had a โranch incidentโ and broke his ankle, โcause heโs a Met and of course he did.
I shouldnโt have laughed so hard at this, but I did.
UNPACK THE WHACK
Hahaha, how did I not know this happened?
Thatโs great. Blevins can act, yo.
METS, NO
Mets, why you gotta go trading my favorite dude? Not cool.
I was legit sad when I read that Cabrera got traded. I dig Cabrera. Now heโs with the Phillies, the team against which he had the famous bat flip.
Edit: Did you know Cabrera has one of the 15 unassisted triple plays in MLB history? Now you do!
Iโm sad.
Oh, Metsโฆ
Hahaha, wow, when itโs all put together in a little montage like thatโฆ
That 2015 World Series, holy hell.
Twit
I think Iโve said this before on here, but Iโll say it again for clarityโs sake. The only thing Twitter is good for is sports updates. Thatโs the only thing. Everything else on it is dumb. I donโt want to see your oh-so-important garbage broken into 140-character chunks of text.
IT.
LOOKS.
STUPID.
Get a blog, you plebs.
Anyway, hereโs the real reason for this post. The Mets Twitter posted this little guy during the game last night and Iโm still laughing.
Itโs just the perfect representation of how their season is going.
THIS IS WHAT TWITTER IS FOR.
Anyway.
ITโS BASEBALL OโCLOCK
Itโs Mets time, bitches! Hopefully theyโll win their first game. And, yโknow, a good amount of the rest of their games.
(Edit: haha, wow, they murdered the Braves.)
Also, shock of shocks: I dug out my old Unreal CD and stuck it in Big Compy just to see how badly it wouldnโt work. But heyโฆit actually worked! And it looks shockingly good for a game from 1998.
Awesome. I just wish The Neverhood worked on this computer, too.
The Mets, The Mets, The Mets are On Fire
Take a look at what the Mets are doing right now:
This is a graph of the Metsโ probability of making it to the postseason. As you can see, the probability had been taking a dive for most of the season, bottoming out at 6.7% on August 19th. They basically had a very, very small chance of making it.
Less than a month later, that probability has shot up to 63%. Thatโs pretty crazy. Theyโre just out of the wildcard spot now. I think itโs especially interesting when you consider that none of the other teams even remotely in contention have any huge upswings or downswings (except maybe the Cardinals).
(Sorry, I like graphs.)
(And now I can use the โsportsโ category for the first time in like 4 years.)
