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.

Jerry Seinfeld is blaming Timmy Trumpet for the Mets’ collapse to the Braves in NL East

Let’s check in on Mets fans ….

There’s still a month left in the MLB regular season, but New York Mets fans have seen this movie before. Even lifelong Mets fan Jerry Seinfeld is already looking for someone to blame.

The Mets held a 10.5-game lead in the NL East standings back on June 1, and since then, they’ve actually played some solid baseball (even with injuries to aces Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer). They held a 52-34 record since June 1, which is good for the sixth-best record in baseball. The problem: The Atlanta Braves went into supernova mode since June 1.

On Tuesday, the Braves — thanks to their MLB-best 62-24 record since June 1 — officially caught the Mets atop the NL East standings. As the Mets struggled with the last-place Pirates and Nationals, Seinfeld seemed to zero in on the moment everything went wrong:

Timmy Trumpet’s live performance.

After the Braves tied the Mets in the standings, Seinfeld commented on SNY’s Instagram post that he blamed Timmy Trumpet’s Citi Field appearance for giving the team bad mojo. He saw it as celebrating before the Mets actually won anything — even if it was an awesome scene and use of closer Edwin Diaz’s walk-out song.

Seinfeld likened it to the time the Mets welcomed the Baha Men to Shea Stadium to perform “Who Let The Dogs Out” before Game 4 of the 2000 World Series. The Yankees ended up winning Game 4 and closing out the series in Game 5.

Again, the season isn’t over, and the Mets could absolutely rebound from this rough stretch and pull away in the NL East. But in case that doesn’t happen, MLB fans wanted to inform Jerry that Timmy Trumpet isn’t the one to blame.
