Mets fans are you ready to heed me now?
It is I, the MAD PROPHET OF TWITTER.
The man who told you to play Murph over Ike Davis.
The man who mocked you when you dared call Matt Harvey “The Next Seaver”
and it is I who begged you last winter to TRADE HIGH!
But now friends, now you can see it. You see what I see. You know to BEWARE STATISTICAL OUTLIERS!
During the pandemic I pointed out 2019’s 183 strikeouts to you. You did not care. You only saw the juiced ball home runs.
During the two Yankee games I pointed out the strikeouts. You did not care. The games did not count.
But now….now you begin to wonder if Vulgar Pete Alonso, the man who dares to mess with the sacred Let’s Go Mets, you wonder if perhaps Vulgar Pete has had his best season already! Deep down you know the answer! And once again you wonder why you did not heed my warnings!
But some of you, some of you have begun to come around.
