 If the Mets needed bulletin board material for tonight, they now have it. 


According to a direct message to WFAN host Evan Roberts on Twitter/X, MLB is not banking on the Mets digging out of a 2-1 NLCS hole. 



Conspiracy theories already ran rampant that Rob Manfred in the Commissioner's Office dreamt of a World Series matchup that featured the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. 


This reported Twitter/X message does not do anything to dispel that the league is planning for the two marquee franchises to match up.


 The Amazin's still have two home games left where they can potentially take a 3-2 advantage to Game 6 in Los Angeles. 



Manager Carlos Mendoza may want to post a printout of this tweet in the locker room and clubhouse to remind the Mets to never give up.

Francisco Lindor is the NL MVP. It doesn't matter what the baseball writers say or the voting committee deems.


The Mets are not in this position without Lindor's gaudy numbers, clutch play and poised leadership. 


So when No. 12 stepped into the box in the bottom of the sixth inning with one-out and the bases load with the Mets trailing 1-0, there was only one thing for him to do, leave the ballpark.


Lindor took a Jeff Hoffman heater over the right-center field wall to send Citi Field into bedlam. 


It was arguably one of the biggest hits in Mets history and certainly in the ballparks 15-year history. 




Edwin danced in and out of trouble in the ninth. After letting runners on first and second with no outs Diaz retired the next three batters, including Kyle Schwarber on a 101mph fastball to end the game. 


The Mets mobbed Lindor at shortstop and the champagne started to flow. The Amazin's clinched their first NLDS berth since 2015 and will await the winner of the Dodgers-Padres series with their Game 5 slated for Friday.


NLCS Game 1 will open Sunday in either San Diego or Los Angeles. The Mets enjoyed a night on the town Wednesday before gearing up a trip West with the NL Pennant on the line!

Citi Field will host Games 3 and 4 of the NLDS. Check out some pregame sights and sounds prior to first pitch of Game 3!

The New York Mets are partying like it's 2013. That's the last time the Amazin's swept a season series from the Pinstripes.


Not even a delays in refueling the team plane could stop them.  The Mets were stranded on the tarmac in Miami into the wee hours of Tuesday's and that couldn't stop the surging Mets on Tuesday in the Bronx. 


Carlos Mendoza's Mets followed a narrow 3-2 win with a 12-3 romping in the finale. Francisco Lindor hit a three run shot and a two run bomb, Pete Alonso's two-run round tripper with Tyrone Taylor and Mark Vientos adding solo bombs. 


The Mets look like a team to be reckoned with come October, while the Yankees are searching for answers to a mid season swoon. 


The Yankees still hold the overall edge against the Mets in head to head matchups with an 80-66 mark and five game series win over them in the 2000 Subway World Series.

Keith Hernandez never has a shortage of opinions. In 2022, Hernandez famously criticized the Philadelphia Phillies defensive acuity as they used that as motivation to clinch a World Series berth.


Back in 2006, Hernandez questioned why a woman was in the Mets dugout during the team's road trip in San Diego. 


The former Mets first baseman is a larger than life personality and says what's on his mind. For better or worse. 





 So, in the fourth inning of Sunday's finale against the Astros, Hernandez commented on Amazin' Clubhouses's very own 1987 New York Mets road Jersey.

Clearly, Hernandez wasn't a fan of the road greys with the racing stripes, but upon discovering the No. 17 and Hernandez on the back, his stance and that of play by play announcer Gary Cohen seemed to soften a bit. 


Hernandez and Cohen didn't acknowledge the foul ball was caught by yours truly, but any mention on a live telecast cannot be questioned.


Unfortunately, the Mets dropped the contest 10-5 in 11 innings after a three -hour rain delay.
