The New York Mets were kicking ass in June, and they had the highest payroll in baseball. Things were looking up, and they had won the Juan Soto sweepstakes. It wasn't long before the situation turned bleak. Soto took on the nickname "Slo Mo" because his lack of hustle. The Mets collapsed in a big way, but they still had a shot at the playoffs yesterday. They needed the Reds to lose, and they needed to beat the Marlins. There was hope for a while, as the Reds fell behind in their game, which played at the same time as Mets vs Marlins. New York gave a limp performance, though, and their season ended on a lazy-ass double play where the runner didn't go full speed. It was an indication of their "lack of hustle" season, and it goes to a show that money can't buy championships. The game is still played on the field, and the Mets will be watching the playoffs from home.
