The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.
Worst game: Wed, Sep 16, L 1-7 vs Baltimore Orioles
In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
Baltimore came in and took all three, and the 1-7 Wednesday drubbing was the hinge: that was when fans stopped asking for wins and started openly campaigning for lottery odds. Then 0-3 to Philadelphia, with Young's season ending in a shrug. Wins of 6-3 and 10-3 arrived anyway, sweetened by a grab-bag jersey and Howie Rose's goodbye, before 2-7 restored order. At 71-85, the broadcaster got the sendoff the roster couldn't earn.
What fans said
“Should've been a Met for life. Still makes me sick to my stomach.”

“Ugh, damn it hurts to see him in another jersey”

“This has ultimately been an absolute failure of a season. 2025 was a failed season and this one managed to be worse by several orders of magnitude.”
u/DCBronzeAge▲ 189despair
“I guess it's because the forecast for tomorrow isn't great, which would rain out the final home game and Howie's last broadcast.”
u/M_Waverly▲ 161despair
“What a shitty way for his season to (presumably) end. Young has been one of the few bright spots of this season and deserves way more recognition.”

“This is the softest fucking team I’ve ever seen holy shit”
