The Mets lost 4-3 Wednesday to the Dodgers and Timmy Trumpet didn’t get his shine, so what does he decide? He’s coming back to Citi Field for round two Thursday night with Jacob DeGrom on the bump:

Talk about milking every last second of your 15 minutes of fame. You knew the repercussions if the Mets were going to lose. They lost. You get nothing. You lose. Good day sir! This feels like Kobe taking 50 shots to get 60 points during his last game ever for one more signature moment.

I said this last week:

That was the easiest call ever. #LOLMets will always rear its ugly head.

The Mets are only up three games on the Braves and giving the best team in baseball extra motivation to mute that trumpet. Whoever made the call to do this during the Dodgers series should be cashing unemployment checks with the Phillies staffer who let that Mets fan throw out the first pitch. Could you imagine some exec talking to Buck Showalter today about this? “So Buck we spent 20 grand on hotels and flights to get him out here. Do you think you can make sure Diaz gets in?” I think Buck might make that guy disappear.
