It's easy being a Met, try being a supporter of a team that always has a losing season without fail for the entirety of your support for them.

Ok think I get it.

So Mets will play the team that won one of the other National Leagues then if they win that series they play in the World Series against an American League team?

Or have i gone too fast there?

More or less, yes. One more step to add in here... Five teams are eligible for the playoffs at the end of the 162-game season - each division winner (three divisions in each league), plus a wild-card entry. In each league there will be one-game wild-card playoff (in the NL it will be Cubs/Pirates) to bring the # of teams remaining down to four teams left in each league.

Then we have two divisional series (best-of-five) between these to reduce the number to two in each league.

Then we have the NLCS (see above - best-of-seven) - as the American League does at the same time. The winner of each league championship series will face each other in the best-of-seven World Series. The winner is the champion of MLB.

This is why we refer to "October baseball" as when the winners play it down to the World Series, AKA "the fall classic."

Are you a Cubbie bear like yours truly? And it's not easy being a Met. In any era.

I'm a Padre, although I follow them through the medium of twitter, always checking their results when I wake up in the morning.
