The Mets clinched a postseason spot last night by beating the Brewers. It’s the first time since 2016 that they’ll be in the playoffs, and BOY have those 6 years felt like an eternity. It just goes to show that the tide eventually does turn back in your favor. Similar to the economy and the markets, sometimes you just have to sit on the roller coaster and ride it down to get back up.
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:

ENJOY!
