I can’t stand frontrunners.

One of my leading indexes is keeping an eye on how much Mets gear I see around the neighborhood.  At this point if you wear something with drop shadow I am like – ok that guy is a real fan.

Yesterday morning at the bagel store – by the way, there are no new flavors have your order thought out and you really don’t need to stand at the glade going Gimme One of That, Two Of These…but I digress…

…at the bagel store I saw a dude in a Mets cap, which I don’t think I have seen since 2015…..and there was this other guy in a brand new Mets shirt and cap.

Bagels Employee started talking to Big Time Mets Fan about Saturday’s win against the Phillies.  Mr. Big Time was vey happy and said “yeah I

I’m calling it.  Congrats to Buck Showalter and the 2022 National League East Champion New York Mets!

THIS is why you hire a professional manager.  The Mets finally stopped making the mistakes of the past.  Things have been calm, there is no circus, the players are getting long, the top 2 starters are out and the Mets quietly take series after series.

Let’s take a look at the standings!

8.5 game lead.

If the Mets play .500 the rest of the way they will win 88 games.

If I did my math right, the Braves need to go 66-49 (.573 ball) to tie at 88 wins.

Oh and the Mets are going to ADD deGrom and Scherzer to the top of the deck.

Congratulations to all the Mets, Vulgar Pete, Uncle Steve and everyone in the organization except Francisco Lindor who can rot for booing the fans. Never forget.  Hopefully he gets DFAd.

Another gem of a $56 cap from New Era.

The New York Mets Scribble Collection 59FIFTY Fitted Cap features embroidered scribble designs throughout the crown, an embroidered Mets logo at the front panels, and a matching MLB Batterman logo at the rear.

WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING?

I don’t know if these are reflective or what – and they work better for teams whose normal color isn’t blue but hey it’s only FIFTY SIX DOLLARS.

And what is the obsession with 1986 side-patches?

The New York Mets Nightbreak 59FIFTY Fitted Cap features an embroidered Mets logo at the front panels, a celebratory patch at the right-wear side, and a matching MLB Batterman logo at the rear. Additional details include a peach undervisor and a cloud themed inner sweatband.

Even @mediagoon only bought two of these.  He has one framed.

As for the “by Xmas” – I am dipping into Unused Offseason Filler this morning.
