. . . Yawn, zzzzzz, snoring . . .

That probably summed up anyone who followed the Mets in 1965. I couldn't even bear to continue sharing my dreary replay of the Mets 4th straight 10th place finish. I thought it would be interesting to follow my team from their inception moving forward. But, boy, they were terrible. I couldn't imagine my sophomoric efforts of recapping the Mets season weekly would be interesting to anyone else, so we're jumping ahead to the end of the Mets season to look back . . . Even though the Mets were really bad, this replay of the 1965 has been fun and interesting (which is what I find great about OOTP).

At this point, the Mets season is over, but the Angels caught up to the Chicago White Sox, while both held off the Twins who made a late season run. The Angels and White Sox ended up tied as the Angels failed to capitalize on the White Sox losing at home to the A's on the last game of the season, with the Angels losing themselves to the Twins. This forced a tiebreaker playoff, with the Angels traveling to the White Sox. The winner would meet the Milwaukee Braves, who held off the Reds to win the NL pennant. I haven't yet played out the postseason, which I'll share later on. For now, let me walk through the highlights of the Mets season . . .
