NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Mets fans are feeling downright giddy on Thursday following New York’s thrilling three-game sweep of the Nationals down in D.C.
The Amazin’s now hold a seven-game lead over the Nats — who were heavily favored at the start of the season — in the National League East, and fans are enjoying the unusual feeling of being on top.
Nationals star right fielder Bryce Harper — who said last month that he doesn’t care about how the Mets are playing — is hearing it from fans on social media.
