We're BAAAAACK - The Mets Are The Pests Here To Crash Your Party
The New Brood is here, motherfuckers! After 7 years of laying dormant in the ground, sucking and finishing at the bottom of the NL East every year, we ‘re back. We’re the cicadas, shedding our skin and breaking out of our shells. The pests are back, here to crash the party and ruin your time. We’re the guy who shows up to your house, drinks all the beer, tries to fuck all the girls, and completely ruins your night.
People don’t know what to do when the Mets are good. They literally can’t handle it. This 10 game winning streak is a perfect example. On our way to 3 straight sweeps with Tolo on the mound today. 12-3 best record at the moment. Undefeated at home. And all people can do is try to diminish their play so far. “Its April!” “Classic Mets in April!” “147 games to go bro!” “They haven’t played anyone!” “Look at the teams they’ve played!” Its absolutely preposterous. First of all, what is this notion that this is “Classic Mets?” This always happens? The Mets always have ten game winning streaks in April? For sure not. You wanna say Mets fans are always excited early in the season, fine. But dont tell me these aren’t different circumstances. Dont tell me this isnt different than other years. Because winning 10 straight and 12 out of the first 15 is not something they do often.
Secondly, this idea that you dont respect a 10 game winning streak because its April is garbage. Literally any other team in baseball does this and your reaction is “Wow thats impressive. Hot start for XYZ. They could be legit.” The New York Mets do it and everyone’s first instinct is to tear it down and blast holes in their play and tell you why its not impressive. Its a joke. If you see that a team is on a 10 game win streak and your first reaction is “What month is it?” you’re a blind hater grasping at straws. If you’re a rational baseball fan and you look at what their pitching staff has done and how they’ve overcome injuries and done it all with a mediocre lineup, you’d just tip your cap. I dont understand why people cant do that. And do NOT try to tell me if the Mets were on a 10 game losing streak that the reaction would be “Well its only April, they’ll be fine.” Get lawst.
And thirdly this “Look at the teams they’ve played!” argument is the worst of all. Hey fucking idiots. Its all been against the NL East. The goddam division that they play in. Games that all matter. Coming into the year the Nats were the consensus best team in baseball. The Marlins were considered promising and a dangerous sleeper. The Braves, after winning 5 straight to start the year despite their fire sale, were getting the “Look at the Braves still getting it done!” treatment. All of a sudden the Mets beat them and its “Those teams suck!” Well I’ll take it either way. Either those teams are solid clubs and the Mets are beating them, or the NL East is trash and the Mets appear to be the team dominating it. Pick one, assholes. Either way I’m cool with it.
And whichever it is, the New Brood is here to ruin your day. Flip the baseball world upside down. Yankees fans cant stand sharing the spotlight. Phillies fans cant stand being at the bottom while the Mets are streaking out early on. Braves fans ready to explode after losing to the Mets at Turner Field. The rest of baseball fans just dont know how to behave when the Metsies are winning. Start making irrational arguments and illogical statements all because we ruined the party. Buckle up assholes. We aint going anywhere.
PS – Dont put words in my mouth and tell me that I think the Mets are the best team in baseball or that they’re gonna win the World Series or even that they’re gonna win the NL East. All I’m saying is that this hot start is an indication that this team is good. This pitching staff is exactly what we thought it would be. The notion of winning something in the mid 80s was a real stretch and now that they won 12 of the first 15 that should be a much more attainable goal.
