The Mets need to have one ruthless goal against MLB’s bottom-dwellers
NY Post
This should be the equivalent of homecoming week for the Mets.
They did not get to dictate who is on their schedule between Memorial Day and Sunday, but these would be the patsies they would have picked — the two worst teams in the majors. Six games against the White Sox and Rockies at Citi Field should be akin to Western Kentucky showing up on a Saturday in Tuscaloosa.
If MLB had relegation, Chicago and Colorado would be in Double-A.
So when they arrive on your doorstep, the job is to blend merciless with ruthless and stomp the flotsam of the sport. Because contenders can be assured that is what their rivals are going to do. The Tigers and Phillies had the majors’ best overall records and — not surprisingly — the two best marks against sub-.500 teams.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
