Timmy Trumpet has become a viral sensation for the New York Mets and their fans, but a celebrity Mets' fan believes he's to blame for troubles in Queens.
The New York Mets completed a 7 game road trip by losing to the Philadelphia Phillies 3-0 on Sunday. In case you missed it, the loss was just a sour cherry on a terrible cake. Former Met Zach Wheeler put all of the nails in the Amazin's coffin completing the 3 game sweep with a 2 hit shutout. Philadelphia not only took over first place from the Mets, it looked like they knocked over their books and took New York's lunch money. The Mets finished the road trip 1-6 and are now in third place, after starting Friday in first. Bad news? Yes. End of the season? Not so fast...
However, it’s 2021 and it’s only the end of June. There is no point in hitting the panic button or is there? New York’s leading hitter is Jake deGrom. OK, no surprise there. The next two leading hitters are JD Davis and Brandon Nimmo. They are the only 3 players that are on the major league roster hitting over .300, one is a freak athlete superstar pitcher and the other two have played less than 22 games each.
