Oh official update on Conforto btw. It's a posterior capsule tear (in addition to the dislocated shoulder). Probably will need surgery. This fucking sucks so fucking much, why are we never allowed to have nice things? Why are we so goddamn cursed?

And like I said before this goes way beyond this season being over. This affects us very badly next year and beyond. Because there have just been so many goddamn injuries and all our players never properly fully recover from them. That was 100% apparent this year when everyone who was hurt last year got hurt again this year, or performed badly.

Next year the Mets need to:
-Hope Harvey, Syndergaard, Wheeler and Matz are all healthy and productive.
-Spend on another big pitcher anyway (Darvish or Arrieta) (they won't do this because the wilpons are cheap fucking assholes who literally steal funds from the team and MLB lets them)
-Get a 2B, 3B, and CF (can't rely on David Wright at 3b, who breaks my heart every day because the man deserves to play so much)
-Improve what was one of the worst bullpens in baseball this year.
-Improve what was one of the worst defensive infields in baseball this year.
-Hope top prospects Smith and Rosario live up to their billing.
-Stuck with d'Arnaud, can't get another catcher so hope he can be productive (and healthy).
-Now pray Conforto stays healthy and comes back on time for Opening Day 2018, and that his career isn't dampened by this injury
-Hope Cespedes can stay healthy.



Only if all those things happen the Mets have a chance to contend in 2018.

And this is all with owners who fucking hate the team and would rather save money by trading away impending FAs (as opposed to paying to get better prospects back)... and the $15 Million that was saved on the contracts of the players they traded away for either shit prospects, or in some cases, nothing, is not going to be spent in the offseason, but rather just line the Wilpons' pockets and/or pay off their Bernie Madoff debt.

Bet you didn't think you'd be better off being a fan of, say, the White Sox than the Mets at the start of the season (but to be fair, the White Sox have a lot to be happy about right now)
