Well fans, the best owner in sports has delivered on what the Wilpons often couldn’t: meaningful games in September.
On this September 1st, and Year 4 of Steve;s 5 Year Promise to Win The World Series, the Mets find themselves up two games for the 4th wild card and just two back of an actual playoff berth.
We are likely to hear fromSteve tonight!
After the Mets finish the sweep of the worst team since the Cleveland Spiders, Steve will tweet something about a great road trip and how the fans should come out to support the team
That’s Steve’s Usual Move after a good series. On teh other hand, he disappears during losing streaks.
i suspect that Steve will find the fans don’t show up for him. The place wasn’t that full this summer, and the days are shorter now and school is back and so is football
The Mets players have done a good job co-opting the media and spinning the narrative that this season – spending $300M to ga e an Ohtani-less team led to the 4th wild card by a panic move safe face manager – is a success
Mendoza isn’t the worst, but he does stand there every day and talk to the media so they leave him alone
Mr. Smile could punch your grandma in the nose but if he wears cool xlothes and talks to the media then he’s in the MVP convo for the 4th wild card
The Pete Alonso narrative is out today with the “even in a down year…” narrative Well, let me point out that “even in up year” that Alonso Baseball usually gets you 4th place How about we put the ball in play?
Ohtani’s not here, seemingly because Steve didn’t think he’d come Did anyone try? Nobody brings that up, because Steve too feeds the media. Jeff WIlpon never learned that trick. Steve shows up in a Mets cap and plays “Uncle Steve” and the media goes away happy.
The “Soto is totally coming to the Mets” story is out there now. Surely Uncle Steve is going to open his wallet just like he did for Ohtani.
Why would Soto come to the Mets? To play in New York for the 4th wild card misfit little brother? Why wouldn’t he stay in a lineup with Judge I’m a tiny park and cruise to the Hall of Fame and then enjoy the spoils of 40 Old Timers Days in the Bronx? What’s appealing about Queens?
Anyway, OMG makes for a nice headline and social media Enjoy the 4th wild card and this meaningful game in September
We will hear from Steve later today.
