The Mets Show Some Serious Fight And Beat The Diamondbacks In Extras (Along With Some Good Old Fashioned Rat Vs. Raccoon Tunnel Debate)
PUT IT IN THE MOTHERFUCKING BOOKS!!! What a beautiful night to refuse to die and fight back against the Diamondbacks to win a baseball game. David Peterson decided he wanted to be an opener instead of a starter and spotted the D'Backs a nice lead, which made it seem like this might be a snoozer. But the bullpen kept the team in the game as the offense chipped away as Patrick Mazeika sealed his name in Mets lore. Welcome to the team Big Bat Pat! I didn't know you existed until an hour ago and now you may be my favorite player after not only "driving in" the winning run but also repping some Barstool merch.
Speaking of fight, how about Francisco Lindor? The man fought off the boo birds to not only extend his hitting streak to two (2) games but also hit this game-tying bomb.
Francisco Lindor: Fighter.
What's that? Oh yeah, there was also some sort of commotion down in the tunnel that happened as well.
We got all the drama and conspiracy theories from #MetsTwitter like we usually do. Was it a fight between Lindor and McNeil? Did someone fall down the stairs like Luis Castillo? Nope! Turns out it was just a couple of guys debating about some wildlife in the tunnel!
Nothing more, nothing less. The Stro Show knows what I'm talking about.

For all the people and capital J Journos crying about this story not being believable, let me remind you of two things.
The first rule of Fight Tunnel is: you do not talk about Fight Tunnel.
The second rule of Fight Tunnel is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Tunnel!
Every Mets fan I know was hoping Dom Smith would punch Jose Alvarado in the face earlier this week and I was ready to fight KFC in White Plains just because it felt like this team needed to release some anger after a solid month of not getting a hit when it mattered. So if Jeff McNeil and Francisco Lindor got rough and rowdy in the tunnel which inspired them both to hit the shit out of the ball, I'm more than fine with that. Mostly because we won. Everything is good in baseball when you win.
Can't wait to see what type of giant rat or raccoon or nonsense the fellas bring into the dugout tomorrow to keep the mojo flowing. Donnie Stevenson was just the tip of the iceberg with this team.
UPDATE: Oh shit, a new challenger appears!

Oh hell no. Fuuuuuuck possums. I'm used to New York City rats and the rally raccoon made the 2015 ride even more fun. But possums (or is it opossums) are gross little mongrels.
Jesus, what are we talking about a month into the season? I just realized I am addicted to the Mets doing stupid Mets shit. We hopped on for an emergency We Gotta Believe after the game because that's how we deal with all this nonsense in Mets Fans Anonymous.
