Metz fans finally exhaled after their team snapped a 12-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the twins at City Field on Wednesday. Night. But the joy was short-lived when Queens Mayor Zoran Mamdani dropped an LGM post on X, stirring up fears of another jinx from the so-called Curse of. The Mambino? That curse kicked off back on April 9th when the Mayor HUD mascots, Mr. and Mrs. Med, right before the skid began. The New York Post even slapped the nickname on their front page cover on April 21st, 2026, turning it into full blown meds, lore. Fans lit up the replies with pure panic, calling him out like, why couldn't he just stay quiet or go root for the Yankees instead? Even some Yankee fans fell bad, begging him to read the room and zip it before another dozen losses hit. Things got wilder with a voodoo king named Michael Washington, showing up at the stadium Tuesday, decked in

a black cloak, brewing potions with goat, skulls and city field dirt to reverse the Mayor's supposed hex. It didn't work as the Mets blew a lead and lost 5-3 that night. Now with the streak broken, but shortstop Francisco Lindor, sideline by a tight left calf in the fifth inning of the win, superstitious eyes stay glued. On the Mayor, why the Amazon's chase momentum before any fresh bad vibes settle in.
