Mets 2017 Season Preview BY JAIME DEJESUS It’s a cliché but in baseball, even if you’re fortunate enough to make the World Series and win it, things go wrong and you never know what the future holds. Mets fans were confi dent that 2016 would be a cakewalk. It wasn’t. Everyone you can name was hurt at some point, most of them with season-ending injuries. However, despite the tons of injuries, the Mets just won three fewer games than in 2015 when they made the World Series, with 87 wins and a trip to the postseason. It was a one-game playo as a wild card, and they lost in heartbreaking fashion to the San Francisco Giants, but they did it. It was a strange season. Fans were tense most of the year about the team not living up to the hype. Then there were the injuries. Former Met Daniel Murphy gave an MVP type performance for the Washington Nationals. Despite all that, it was a successful campaign given the adversity. That’s a credit to the entire organization. And even though their beloved Mets didn’t get past the wild card game, fans should be happy given all that went wrong, because of the season’s potential for disaster. QNS.COM 24 SPRING 2017
