2025 Mets Schedule
2025 Mets Schedule
When MLB radically altered its schedule, resulting in the Mets now playing all American League teams each season, I honestly thought that would virtually eliminate the biggest inequity of interleague play, which always had the Mets having to face the Yankees more times (usually double) than any other team in the National League. However, according to the 2025 schedule, the Mets will play 14 A.L. teams three games each. The one exception? They will play the Yankees SIX times. I am so disgusted with MLB's obsession with "natural geographic rivals". The Yankees are the 2024 A.L. champions, and the Mets will have to face them TWICE as many games than every other N.L. team. Those extra three games could easily be the difference between a first round playoff bye, or for that matter not making the playoffs at all. No other sport does this. And for what? Added attendance??

We beat the shit out of the MFYs this year, for what that's worth
Re: 2025 Mets Schedule
Yeah that's right, they won all four games vs. the Yankees, who are in the World Series and the Mets are not. You literally missed my point. It's about schedule integrity. All-time, the Mets have a 67 - 84 record against the Yankees. Except for a handful of seasons, the Yankees won the regular season Subway Series. The Mets should not have to play them twice as many games as all other National League teams. Again, no other sport does this with their schedule. The Jets and Giants only play each other once every four years. It also makes the wild card even more unfair, since it compares teams from different divisions that play the teams in their own division 13 times per year, and plays at most 7 games against the teams from the other divisions in their league.

It is wrong and should be fixed. We can all agree on that.
But like all awful MLB decisions, it’s money-driven.

We can all also agree that there should be a statue of Derek Bell in front of Citi Field.
