Mets vs Cubs

Mets vs Cubs played on April 19, 2026. Final score: Mets 1 - Cubs 2. Reg. Season. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

Top fan take from @nick: “Ahh ok I think I get it; the Mets are executing an offensive strategy known as the “pyramid scheme” where they double up their run total every game until they reach the top (in this case 4 runs) of the pyramid, and then they reduce by the same amount on the way down (2 runs yesterday means only 1 run today). They last did this during the Wilpon era right before it was discovered that they -the Wilpons - lost a sizable amount of the team’s balance sheet in Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme - not to be confused with the pyramid scheme we see at play here. 11th loss in a row so it seems to be working as intended. Fascinating stuff! Looking forward to the shutout next game!!! ”
