It may be too soon to judge, as the team is only a few games past the midway point, but the Mets are 7.5 games back and fading. So I turned to Twitter and asked my followers if they have given up on the Mets season.
Here are their responses…
julierubes said: No, because I'm hoping by the time they come to play the Cubs they have their "usual guys" back in the lineup and are winning
kevin_tor said: I'm trying to give up on the season because I think that's our only chance. They always do the opposite of what I expect.
maggie162 said: Nope, because "giving up" doesn't mean anything. I watch games, cheer, be happy when they win and sad when they don't.
gobears1001 said: no, I want to see the guys get back yet but if we lose all three series this trip then I won't hold my breath anymore.
wendy93639 said: Given up? why would anyone ever do that? who else you going to root for? if the #mets show up.. I show up. Even the JV squad.
pAuLiE_bRuZ said: as much as i dont want to admit giving up on this team its just so hard to sit watch a game and act like im interested still
swirlywand said: No! Now is not the time to defect...if we stuck thru two HORRIBLE endings..we can tough out some tough love for the #mets!
thebrowncoat said: There's always hope, but the realist in me says this team doesn't have enough to put it together.
thebrowncoat continued: Plus, I'm still pissed at Sports Illustrated for jinxing us by picking us to win the World Series.
metsjetsgirl said: No. As Mets fans know, 7.5 games can be caught up.. um.. rather quickly. We need our guys back. YA GOTTA BELIEVE!
tvrob said: i gave up bcs of everything i see, seeing is believing
cvelardi said: I can't give up, can't stop watching.. but I certainly don't have any post-season expectations.
kerelcoop said: no. Mets play is the worst division in baseball. 7 games back is nothing. A 3 week stretch of hot baseball & they’re back in it.
gwong said: I've given up on the idea of this being a season of consequence but that doesn't stop me from watching it painfully unfold.
DqtmaReyz said: - season's been in the books for a while. It's just a bad team in a bad circumstance.
disgruntmetsfan said: Yes because they don't get points for hitting into double plays
tyronem said: I am scaling back - it's too painful to watch some of these games.
kdoster said: No way! I still believe in them... Until its September and they are completely out of contention.
Ryan_J_Smith said: For now i'm not counting the mets out b/c nobody in the NL East is that strong. If they get hot they're back in it
brianjtang said: Yes, given up on Mets Season. 7.5 games is attainable. Just not with the current roster.
