Being a Mets fan is certainly not for the faint of heart. While team owner Steve Cohen has given the fan base more things to be optimistic about than ever before, it’s still the Mets we’re talking about. Fans should be ready to get their hearts broken while also riding a roller coaster of emotions.
Thursday night’s dramatic comeback win over the Washington Nationals is a perfect example of that.
New York used the power of its Brandon Nimmo gnome shrine in the dugout to build a 7-3 lead heading into the eighth inning. Tommy Hunter came out for a second inning of relief, and it was less than stellar.
