The Mets have been a different team since June, having gone 62-36 since 6/1. Yet, somehow, they play worse on Sundays than they did the first two months of the year. Here’s the breakdown:

6/2 – Loss, 5-4
6/9 – Win, 6-5
6/16 – Win, 11-6
6/23 – Win, 5-2
6/30 – Loss, 10-5
7/7 – Win, 3-2
7/14 – Loss, 8-5
7/21 – Loss, 4-2
7/28 – Loss, 9-2
8/4 – Loss, 3-2
8/11 – Loss, 12-1
8/18 – Loss, 3-2
8/25 – Loss, 3-2
9/1 – Win, 2-0
9/8 – Loss, 3-1
9/15 – Loss, 2-1

That’s 5-11. In a span where the team has played at a .633 clip – a 102-win pace over an entire season – The Mets are a .313 team on Sundays. And it’s now eight straight Sundays where they failed to score more than two runs. It’s a fluke. But it’s a pretty impressive fluke.

As a sports fan, I have my share of superstitions. One of mine is that I avoid wearing this one Mets T-shirt on days that they play. But to break the bad Sunday juju, I’m wearing that shirt today. If the Mets win, you can thank me.

    Fingers crossed, next two games will be tough. Hope they win at least one of them Two out of three against the Braves is big.

    The shirt didn’t help the offensive output but it did produce a victory. I’m calling it a win!
