Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Blamed by some for Mets' Epic Losing Streak, Says He's "Keeping the Faith"
The Mets have dropped 11 straight and are 8 1/2 games behind the Braves, while Mamdani brushes off fan talk of a mascot curse.
- New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani jokingly accepted the 'Mayor Mambino' title as the New York Mets endure an 11-game losing streak, their longest in April history. The team holds a 7-15 record following a supposed 'curse' linked to Mamdani's April 9 visit to Citi Field.
- The moniker stems from Mamdani's April 9 meeting with Mr. and Mrs. Met at Citi Field, which some fans jokingly cite as the catalyst for struggles. The Mets lost that game 7-1 and have not secured a victory since.
- While the 'curse' generates headlines, the Mets' struggles stem from tangible issues like inconsistent pitching and underwhelming offensive production. The team scored just 17 runs over their 10-game losing streak, averaging 1.8 per game.
- Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said 'Eleven losses, that's a lot, whether it's in April or any point of the season.' The team's $381 million payroll, one of the highest in Major League Baseball, makes the performance particularly disappointing.
- Mamdani said Tuesday that 'I'm still keeping the faith' as 140 games remain in the regular season. The team hopes to recover with key players returning in the next 7-10 days to salvage their season.
