OHHHH baby!!! Are you kidding me right now?! THERE. IS. STILL. MAGIC. AT. CITI. FIELD!!
The Mets — the THREE-TIME defending WORLD CHAMPION New York Mets — looked absolutely dead in this one, folks. I mean buried. Down NINE to NOTHING to the Cincinnati freakin’ Reds by the top of the fifth. Fans were heading for the 7 train, people were calling WFAN ready to blow it all up — and then… the comeback of comebacks happened.
Ten — count ’em — TEN unanswered runs!
Two in the fifth to show a pulse. Two more in the sixth to make it interesting. Then — BOOM — a five-run SEVENTH inning to tie it up. Citi Field was rockin’, baby! The towels were flying, the fans were losing their minds, and the Reds? They were lookin’ around like, “What just happened?”
And then in the bottom of the eighth, the man of the hour — Ricardo Clutch Contreras — hits the sac fly to put the Mets in front, 10-9! The place goes absolutely NUTS. And then… the bullpen, somehow, some way, holds it together in the ninth. Ten to nine, your final!
I mean, folks, this is why we love this team. They drive us crazy, they make us scream, they look finished — and then bang, they pull you back in. Ten unanswered runs! It’s unreal.
The dream of four straight championships — still alive, baby. STILL. ALIVE.
Oh, and by the way — how about the bullpen after that disaster start from King and Oceguera? Diaz and Pineda — nails. Absolute nails.
So, yeah, once again… The Mets looked dead, gone, finished — and they come storming back to win it 10-9. You can’t make it up. Only the Mets, folks. Only. The. Mets.
OHHH BABY, LET’S GOOOO!!!
