Was the defining moment of the Mets’ ultimately unsatisfying season the three-game, early September sweep at home at the hands of the lovably losing Cubs, a game bunch of kids whose team ownership had punted on the season long before it began?
It’s a tough call, one disaster following the next. But suffice it to say, the Mets, as impressive as they played at times over the 162 games, were at their worst when it counted most,Not that this is any solace, but based on what transpired against the Padres — a very nice team missing its best all-around player, amateur motorcyclist and PED dabbler Fernando Tatis Jr. — the Mets were never going to survive the gauntlet that is the National League derby, anyway.
To a man, Mets players told us how excited they were to play in such a vital game. And yet, their performance showed a decided lack of inspiration. It was really a shockingly poor effort from a team that won the second most games in its history, and worked hard over a 180-day schedule to improve by 24 games over a year ago.
Musgrove was so befuddling for Mets hitters that Mets manager Buck Showalter suspected him of doctoring the baseball, or at least raised that suspicion in a meeting with umpire Alfonso Marquez before the sixth inning. The umps dutifully checked Musgrove after conferring for what seemed like an eternity, and even rubbed his ears. The tactic failed. His ears were clean, and when he resumed pitching he continued his domination over the suddenly inept Mets.
