Agreed that this and '69 are like night and day, the collapse in '69 being one of the greatest ever and this one being a blip on the radar by comparison.
I don't know a whole lot about '69 cept for us being up like 12 games and the Mets making all of that up in August and Sept...and the stupid black cat.
Would be such a feel good story for this team to be able to scratch and claw a playoff spot though. And the probability of losing Bellinger makes it seem more urgent too, like getting into the playoffs and some bats catching fire could be a possibility, no matter how remote.
