'In the end, this season was the usual kind of roller coaster, full of the usual kinds of disappointments. At least Cohen, in a gift to New York sports fans, has tweeted through it all.'
Photo-Illustration: Intelligencer; Photo: @StevenACohen2/Twitter In his book about the historically dreadful 1962 Mets, legendary journalist Jimmy Breslin noted that despite a brain trust of brilliant baseball men, larger forces appeared to prevent the club from achieving success: “It is simply that everything about the Mets seems to run in a pattern, no matter what anybody tries to do.”
March 2: The Mets play their first home spring-training game. Everyone is very excited for the upcoming season. May 16: The happiest story line of the first half of the Mets’ season is the mind-blowing performance of ace Jacob deGrom. Through his first six starts, his ERA clocks in at a minuscule 0.68. But in mid-May, deGrom is placed on the injured list with “right-side tightness.” Cohen chooses to remain positive.
August 1: The Mets begin the month in a very Mets-y way. Weeks earlier, the team selected the highly touted Vanderbilt righty Kumar Rocker with the tenth pick in the MLB draft. Fans saw a potential future cornerstone of their rotation, but the team reportedly had concerns about Rocker’s health and ultimately didn’t sign him, getting the 11th pick in next year’s draft as compensation. The whole thing is a bummer all around, up to and including Cohen’s take, which goes over … poorly.
