Your Mets somehow get healthy and make a miraculous run(Can Jake pitch every day?) you going to count the title? Serious question.

No, I would not consider it a legit title. The Mets are an average to below average team right now and have no real business being a title contender. A 60-game schedule with 16 playoff teams is just not real MLB baseball, to me. I do agree with those who say 162 games is too many, but 60 (or less, for several teams) is FAR too few and 16 playoff teams is far too many.

This wouldn't be shades of a miracle run like the '69 Mets. I'd enjoy watching them win the games, no doubt, but I'd recognize it'll always have an unofficial asterisk.

On a side note, I also hate the DH. I get the reasoning behind adopting it for the NL this year. I also get that there is movement towards the NL having the DH going forward because they're the only remaining league to NOT use the DH. But I don't have to like it. My belief is that if you want to hit you should have to field a position. Period.
