Pete Alonso Sent A Go-Ahead 9th Inning Home Run Into Orbit To Help Snap The Mets 4-Game Losing Streak

When you poke the polar bear and your teammate gets taken roughly 8 billion feet:

Have yourself a night ManBearPete! It takes a lot to hit a no-doubter in a cavern like Petco Park. But every player, coach, and fan knew that was gone as soon as the ball left the bat. Even Gary Cohen, who has had a rough season judging big flies, immediately knew it was a tater while I think Todd Zeile’s actually brain froze in amazement as that ball sailed through the pleasant San Diego air.

Pete Alonso said tonight’s game was a Must Win and all he did was put the team on his back like Greg Jennings, with that cock shot being the exclamation point every Mets fan needed to justify staying up until the end of that game and having to sleepwalk through work/school all day tomorrow.

I am not going to bring up Edwin Diaz serving up a very Familia-esque 9th or my heart jumping into my throat when the last out of the game was a grounder hit directly to Amed Rosario. Instead I will remind everyone that this was the first time in almost 10 days that the Mets offense scored 5+ runs. Coincidence?

I think not. We gotta believe!
