Boomer is all in on Mets: 'Maybe there's something special happening here'

Gio is struggling to buy into the 2024 Mets, even after Wednesday's thrilling win over the Blue Jays, but Boomer says he is having no such troubles.

As New York moves back into a playoff spot, Boomer says he is all in on the playoff chase and the Mets' chances of making it a special season, if it doesn't feel like one already.

"How many times have we said, 'Just give me meaningful baseball in September'?" Boomer said, before explaining his reaction to Francisco Lindor's game-tying home run in the ninth inning on Wednesday. "I felt a sense of euphoria. I feel like morale here has been in the toilet because of what happened with the football teams and the Yankees have been inconsistent, but the Mets have been surging here."

There is still work to be done, and it doesn't get easier as the Phillies and Braves await, but Boomer believes this group has what it takes to get it done, and still isn't ruling out Pete Alonso waking up and carrying the Mets to a postseason berth.

"I don't know what to tell you, bro. I'm in," Boomer said. "The second half of the season has been great. They're just coming off of a nine-game winning streak, the pitching staff has been good, and Francisco Lindor had a little dip, but he came up huge.

"Maybe there's something magical happening here."
