[Highlight] The SNY broadcast booth holds a ritual in an attempt to reverse the Mets fortune
Average Mets subplot:
Say what you will about my Mets, but they’re never boring.
They are a ridiculous team but by god they’re entertaining
they’re really trying to push through the pain
Listen, it’s FAR more entertaining when you aren’t a fan.
Mets v. Angels going to be something…
Now I wanna see them win just so that they think this worked and continued the rituals lol
I love dumb shit like this… when it’s not happening to my team
Yea, it doesn’t feel great from inside the asylum…
I lived through a 14 game losing streak a few years ago. It’s akin to getting punched in the balls repeatedly…you eventually go numb.
Fired Maddon after he got a Mohawk to change the vibes
Idk, I don’t enjoy the losing but I do enjoy this.
I’m fully prepared to watch them lose 0-1 behind a fantastic McLean start.
We trained for this with DeGrom…
Edit: I know what the score says, but I have confidence they can still manage to lose 0-1
You can’t even slide down the halls for fun cause they put rubber on your socks!
They do that at Skyzone. Do Asylums have trampolines?
no but they have hot vampire girls
Baseball fucking rules
We’re 22 games in and we’re already resorting to black magic and bits.
Run prevention btw
Hey your last amazing run began with a McDonald’s mascot, maybe the black magic should be welcomed
We should see if the Hamburgler is available
I personally think this situation calls for Tony the Tiger
Not even Tony thinks they’re great.
Update: Grimace is also in the building and Lindor hit a 3 run homer. We might be back.
See!? Welcome the black magic!
I spoke too soon.
Hey we need to everything and anything. Times are desperate!
Yeah but usually we gotta wait until June for the nonsense to happen.
True, but this is unprecedentedly bad for the Mets! Commence the ritual!
Somebody call the Etsy Witches!
You never wanna see the garlic necklace before May
The Mets aren’t serious until they call for the worship of the old gods, a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
Devil worship is our thing, back off
I love this broadcast so much, baseball is the best.
One of the benefits of local broadcasts. You’d never see anything like this for an NFL game.
There are definite positives to each team having their own broadcast, especially with a sport like baseball.
He ruined the ritual by saying 11 game winning… I mean losing streak.
Um, didn’t you listen? He was feeling the optimism already.
Yeah that goes against everything I’ve ever heard about “jinx” rules.
“I need a live chicken”
Hats for bats
Keep bats warm
Gracias
Fine, I’ll rewatch Major League again
Every year
i don’t practice santeria
I ain’t got no crystal ball
Arise chicken
Hey Jake, man, we can’t have people puking in the locker room before the game.

Get me an old priest and a young priest!
That was the most ominous “Let’s Go Mets!” chant I’ve ever heard.
I honestly want to hear the spooky music and the chant during a game, the fanbase going full Lovecraftian cultist.
If a player strikes out; they get ritually sacrificed.
Yeah, that was creepy
^LETS ^GO ^METS
Might have something to do with the choice of music which is clearly an excerpt from a horror film score.
It’s hilarious and wholesome some how though
“I’m feeling the positive vibes”
Like hell you are!
Absolutely legendary choice of music
I love baseball so much hahaha this is great
Says the Dodgers fan 🤨
Are we not allowed to like baseball :/
No, we can’t like something we’re ruining.
Its easy to like something when you’re sittin pretty at the top and watching other teams struggle embarrassingly
But I’m also just ribbing you
…^^^(mostly)
One more loss. One more loss that could have been a win.
Team so cooked we need to rely on Satan to win a singular game.
Anyway… HAIL SATAN
Pedro Serrano worshipped Jobu, not Satan though.
God hates us so what are we supposed to do?
The swinging horseshoes lol
Every team should have a broadcast as good as The Mets’
and a team as good as the mets, right? right? guys?
Lmao
I miss when the Mets were bad but with no expectations of being good, so the booth would just read the program guide and look at random baseball cards during a blowout.
They still do that during blowouts
I guess I just haven’t seen a Mets involved blowout in a while
I also figured that would go away with the amount of ads during games/during any dead time, as well as the pitch clock. No time to read the 1975 Mets program anymore.
The game still goes on, and that takes time. GKR usually go through baseball cards during the late innings of a blowout, so all the time they would normally be giving color commentary is just spent talking about the cards.
I will say that it felt a little less frequent last year? But it still happened at least one or two times IIRC.
The Mets didn’t get blown out in the sense of down 15-0 by the 3rd inning. Feel like all the losses were slow accumulations of runs so there wasn’t any down time to really bust out the fun stuff
This also reminds me of Major League the movie when Bob Euchre’s character was actively not giving two shits about what happened on the field.
How can you not be romantic about baseball dude
[removed]
🤣
If this works every booth will be doing it.
Welp… Mets have last licks, but right now it’s looking like they miss having a lock-down closer…
Lmao the kid next to gelbs getting smoked out
The demons? It’s the D backs and A’s.
Snakes have always been portrayed as evil in religious texts
As have people from Sacramento
West Sacramento
According to the New York Post cover I saw on the newsstand earlier today, the demon is Mamdani.
They’ve lost ten in a row (now eleven) since Mr. and Mrs. Met had a photo op with the Mayor of New York.
Have these idiots learned nothing?
Etsy witch is the only way
First the dad apologizing to his kid at his Bar Mitzvah for making him a Mets fan
And now they’re doing rituals
We are not even a month into the season
I give it another week before we burn Lindor alive in a giant wicker effigy of Mr. Met.
I really wonder what would have happened if they had showed Cohen on the Jumbotron at MSG last night.
the kids standing so close but trying to get the smoke away pissed me off
Is it weird that I’m slowly becoming a Mets fan? What’s wrong with me?
We aren’t always good, but we are always entertaining
I was disappointed by the lack of a bucket of chicken.
This is brilliant. 🤣 Omg, the music.🕯🧙♀️
I like it! I say let the losing streak continue just so we get to see what other forbidden arts get drummed up next
Bad time to be a first born
Dansby Swanson burned sage to cleanse bad energy before playing the Cubs in 2021 and the Braves went on to win the World Series. So not entirely insane.
Edit: It appears to be working
Edit edit: it didn’t work
This is why sny is the best broadcast in baseball
😂 This makes me love the Mets broadcast team even more. As a braves fan I hope it doesn’t work but I dig the strategy
They have this on hand because this was the Mets approach to Pete Alonso’s free agency
Damn that kid on his right definitely is cleansed if nothing else.
Poor kid getting smoked out lmaooo
Lmao this is awesome! Let’s go Mets!
I have a feeling the Mets are going to win today. And I hope it starts a trend of the team doing crazy shit like this. If they can’t win, they can at least have fun with it!
[ Removed by Reddit ]
Sometimes I wish I could make myself believe shit like this makes a difference. It would be nice to have that kind of hope for your sports team’s chances improving.
This is actually awesome. I wish my team could be like this (not the losing part, we’re already doing enough of that we don’t need more)
Mind you it’s only April
Reject sage, return to Grimace
I do this with salad every game
They need to hire an Etsy witch
The 11 game winning streak stumble 😂
Is it too early in the season for the Etsy Witch?
If they try to build a statue of a player then break its bat, they will win the next 4 games then immediately be back to having the same problems. Could work.
What in the FromSoftware DLC is happening here
What makes this funnier is that all this stuff doesn’t even work in the movie, Cerrano doesn’t learn to hit the curve until he rejects Jobu and believes in himself in the end lol
this feels like something from the onion and i love it 😭😭 thank you baseball
And then what happened???
this is either going to work and the mets go on a 12 game winning streak or its going to cause every mets player to be unable to play because of mysterious circumstances and the losing streak goes up to 20
Didn’t work, call upon the Etsy witch
I like how the kid next to him insists on staying there and waving the smoke away.
I was literally that kid for a while in Boy Scouts. Would always come home from a camping trip smelling of smoke.
Yall got anymore of that sage
Omg did it work?!
If you can’t beat the 2026 Twins you’re cooked.
Have they considered that perhaps the evil forces were the ones helping them win? What if they expelled their only hope?
the ethereal music lol
You got to kill a chicken.
LMFAOOOOOOO
That’s Mets Santeria baby!
Being a Mets fan looks so fun. Not because they don’t win anything, but because of their hope
God that is the creepiest LGM chant I’ve ever heard
Those vibes were definitely NOT positive lol
That’s quality TV 🤣
They need a limpia.
Rub a huevo over the clubhouse
This is somehow sadder for the franchise than an 11-game losing streak.
We’re not even a month into the season.
I love the SNY team so much. Needed this laugh today!
Outjerked immensely by SNY
Now THIS is baseball
I personally find it funny how much the crowd hates the smell of the sage meanwhile the typical air quality around Citi Field is prob amongst the worst in all of NY state
Seems like they didn’t sacrifice a live chicken.
Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise! Chicken Arise
That dident work, at this point I think you need a live chicken sacrifice.
“Rico Carty used to light candles in his bath to beat off…”
RIP bozos that shit did not work
Steve Cohen flying in the best voodooers (voodooists?) from Haiti as we speak.
All of this for them to lose…again. 😂
Next time let the dude with the goat in. Trust me.
They need to actually pay Danhausen human monies to reverse whatever is going on with the Mets.
JFC this is so unhinged I love it
So desperate to win they have to call upon Satan for help lol
Based
Need to do this at Camden yards
That spooky music sounds like the same stuff they used at Waco.
are the sprouts still a thing or have we moved on from that
I wish this was yesterday. Would’ve been better than sage lmao
Edit: go to 48 seconds if the link doesn’t take you there. My reaction https://youtu.be/z09SQEqhNao?si=1mKjxpi30X6FGtC6&t=48
Where’s Peyton? He worked wonders for the Lions
Wot
Sacrifice Mr. Met
It’s like 10 fans there. They shouldn’t have raised the camera
“Sage”
amazing.
Playing the Twins is basically the cure for whatever ails you in any event.
How is this the most Mets thing ever
Bruhhhhhh
I wish the YES network was as creative as the SNY network. They’re so awesome
They need an Etsy witch
Need Dennis Haysbert to do “fuck you Jobu” promo now. ;p
Well, it was a valiant effort
maybe pay de grom and pete alonso
Time to sacrifice Devin Williams.
I really wish I could watch my team this season, we have the best broadcast team.
Would Kevin Burkhardt ever do that?
Can you fucking imagine doing this shit?! I can’t but my team is not the first rate team of NY so what the fuck do I know right?
Absolute cringe
I can’t remember which gimmick from last year it was, but Meg Rowley suggested the Mets build a Wicker Man and ritually sacrifice them in the middle of the field on today’s Effectively Wild.
Several hours later, the Mets take a half measure. Man up, Mets. Burn a man in a mascot suit alive.
steve gelbs outside citi field pregame tomorrow
I’ll take “Losing with Rizz,” for $200, Alex.
Yeah well grimace wasn’t around because you didn’t resign him after 2024!!! You know what to do!!!
Narrator: It didn’t work.
