Happy 4th!

DiComo is the man! Love watching him on SNY!

Nunez continues to be elevated in the 'pen. I hope he gets the 8th inning, in front of Diaz, with the Smith Brothers in the 7th in tight games. In loose games, it is great to have Butto & Houser to give 2 innings, with Otto and others in blowouts.

So who is going to be the Mets lone representative at the All Star game?

[@jamesbuckley8917]

Can you imagine if this team gets to the World Series(Grimace definitely throws out a 1st pitch), which happens during Halloween, how many Grimace costumes will be sold? What would McDonald's do?

[@WhyMetsPod]

McDonalds needs to capitalize on this with a Grimace meal and I'm surprised they haven't already

If we visualize it, it will come true! Citi would make Raiders Nation look like a ballet.😅

Tonight has trap game written all over it. I pray the bats give us at least 6 tonight.

[@jamesbuckley8917]

Mendoza checks a lot of boxes, but he's made some mistakes. He will stick if he learns from his mistakes and changes for the better. This is what doomed Luis Rojas. He would make a bad decision, but stubbornly would repeat it and tell the media he would do so again.

Syracusians are big mets fans?
