00:00How did the late summer Mets magic all of a sudden turn into voodoo?

00:04If this team doesn't make it into the postseason,

00:06this is going to be one of the biggest disappointments in New York sports in recent years.

00:12From mid-June on is and was supposed to be when Mendoza's boys go on their run.

00:17They had a five and a half game lead over the division.

00:20All was good in Queens because the roster was living up to its potential.

00:25Instead, it's mid-September.

00:27They're in the thick of a six straight game losing streak.

00:30They got swept by the Phillies,

00:32and they're barely holding on to a one and a half game wildcard edge over San Francisco and the Reds.

00:38Forget going on a run.

00:40This team looks like they have the runs.

00:42This team looks like they're on the verge of one of the biggest collapses in recent New York sports.

00:49But there is 14 games left, so I'm not going to go full Karen and panic.

00:53But there has to be some urgency for some late-season magic.

00:57I'm going to take it back to the movie Major League,

01:00and I'm going to pray to Jobu that the Mets make it to the postseason.
