Jerry Seinfeld, not Timmy Trumpet, is to blame for Mets losing the divisional lead

The Mets had the lead until the KITH photoshoot droppd.

The New York Mets are having an incredibly enjoyable season, but it isn’t enough to make Jerry Seinfeld happy.

The comedian took to Instagram to blame Timmy Trumpet for the Mets losing the divisional lead in the NL East. He claimed that “celebrating in season” when the team hasn’t “won anything yet” created “bad mojo” for the team.

I don’t care what Seinfeld said. The live performance of “Narco” at Citi Field was the best moment of the season for the Mets. Honestly, it was one of my favorite baseball moments in years. Timmy Trumpet even had a fresh take on “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” that gave me chills.

Seinfeld, however, deduced the whole thing down to a “stupid” performance.

But he is way off. As my colleague and friend Andy Nesbitt wrote, Diaz’s entrance music is exactly what the MLB needs right now. It’s one of the many reasons why the Mets have become a fun team to root for even as a bandwagon fan.

It’s fun! Sports are supposed to make us happy, and this song makes so many people happy. There is a reason why the video of the performance has more than 10 million views.

Let’s be honest with ourselves for a second. The Mets maintained a lead in the division throughout the entire season, including when Timmy Trumpet performed at Citi Field at the end of August.

But do you know what happened that may have actually caused a change in the cosmos?

Seinfeld, while sporting a Mets hat, modeled for the NYC clothing brand Kith’s fall campaign. Remember: New York had the lead in the division until this photoshoot reached the internet and he incarnated the real-life version of the “How do you do, fellow kids?” meme.

I’m not the only person who thinks that Seinfeld, not Timmy Trumpet, is to blame for the recent collapse in Queens. Robby Kalland, of UPROXX, stands in solidarity with my opinion.

Seinfeld is acting like a bitter boomer bummed out by boastful bops.

You hate to see it.
