Mets Slump: Mayor Mambino Keeps Hope Alive

0:00On April 22nd, the New York Mets are deep in a slump, dropping 11 straight games and landing dead last in the National League East. Fans are half joking that it all started when New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani chatted up the teen's mascot, Mr. Met, right before the skit kicked off. Mamdani fired back with some humor, owning the blame by dubbing himself Mayor Mambino for a day, a nod to that old curse of the Vambino that haunted. The Boston Red Sox for decades, Mets supporters are feeling the pain, but the mayor's keeping spirits up, reminding everyone there's plenty of baseball left and the faith is still, strong citywide. On the field, injuries like Juan Soto's absence and shaky play from New Saini Boba Shet have fueled the woes, putting the team a game's back already. They get a shot to snap at Tuesday night at home against the Minnesota Twins, plenty of time to climb out and turn this season around.
