JERRY SEINFELD VOICE
THE METS DID IT!! THE METS DID IT!!!
Can you believe this?! The Mets are going to the NLCS! THE. N. L. C. S.!!! I mean... what is this feeling?! Is this joy? Is this happiness? Is this... relief?!?
Thirteen years, folks. Thirteen years without a trip to the Championship Series. That’s not a drought — that’s a biblical event! Moses was leading people through the desert in less time than it took the Mets to get back to the NLCS!
And how did they do it? Down 3-0 heading into the eighth inning... DEAD! FLATLINE! Nothing! You’re looking at your TV like, “Well, here we go again... Mets collapse, it’s tradition!” Then — BOOM — out of nowhere, Brubaker shows up like a Broadway understudy and clears the stage!
A bases-clearing double!
“Hello, Cincinnati? Yeah, you’re done.”
Four runs in the eighth! Four! It’s like the Mets suddenly remembered, "Oh right, we’re allowed to HIT the baseball!" What were they doing the first seven innings?! Practicing mindfulness?!
And don’t forget the bullpen! Hudspeth comes in, shuts the door! Just locks it up! Like Kramer slamming the peephole shut on Newman! "NO MORE RUNS FOR YOU!"
Let me ask you something — what kind of team waits until the 8th inning of an elimination game to start scoring? THE METS, THAT’S WHO. That’s our brand! That’s our drama! That’s Mets baseball, baby — it's stress, it’s chaos, it’s magic.
Kevin Brubaker — MVP of the series! A .333 average, 5 RBIs, and a name that sounds like he should be selling you a used car in Staten Island. “Come on down to Brubaker’s Auto, where we knock it outta the park!”
So now... it’s the Giants. San Francisco. The fog. The seagulls. The garlic fries. Bring 'em on!
Folks — the Mets are four wins away from the World Series. Let me say that again: FOUR. WINS. FROM. THE. WORLD. SERIES.
What is this life?! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!
👏 LET'S 👏 GO 👏 METS 👏
