Seinfeld blames Mets' recent slump on 'stupid Trumpet performance'
It turns out Jerry Seinfeld is an anti-trumpite.
The lifelong New York Mets fan recently blasted his team's performance on the SNY TV Instagram comments section.
The post, which explained that the Mets had lost sole possession of first in the NL East - a position they'd held since April 11 - got a couple of comments from the comedian.
"I blame that stupid Trumpet performance," Seinfeld said in one comment, alluding to the live Timmy Trumpet rendition of "Narco" - Edwin Diaz's walkout song - at Citi Field. "Celebrating in season. We haven't won anything yet. Bad mojo."
Seinfeld then compared it to the 2000 season, which featured the Millennium Mets going from the NL wild card to the World Series before losing in five games to the New York Yankees.
"Same as when Baha Men showed up to play 'Who Let Dogs Out' (during the 2000 World Series). Series ended right there."
The Mets and Atlanta Braves are still tied for the top spot in the division at 86-51, with both clubs attempting to clinch a first-round bye in the postseason.
