Mets Win A Series, Bedlam Ensues


The party was on last night at Citi Field as the Mets took game 4 from the Chicago Cubs to win their first series of the year. Considered by many to be the favorite to win the World Series in 2010, the Cubs had no answer to the Mets pitching staff and left Citi Field losers of 3 out of 4.

Meanwhile down the hall in the home team clubhouse the champagne was flowing as the Mets were in the midst of a raucous post-game celebration. Players doused each other in champagne as clubhouse attendants handed out "April Series Champions" tee shirts.

"This is what it is all about.", said an excited Jose Reyes. "This is why you work so hard in the off-season."

Some members of the Mets brass were on hand too. Omar Minaya could be spotted in one corner of the clubhouse smoking a cigar while VP Dave Howard was overheard shouting, "Just think of how many of these T-shirts we are going to sell tomorrow!"

And sell they will. This morning at the 42nd Street Modells, the line stretched all the way to Bryant Park as eager Mets fans waited to get a piece of this historic occasion.

"I've been here since 4AM." said Eli from Brooklyn. "This is the most exciting thing to happen to the Mets in 4 years. I think there are more people here than were at the game last night." The Apple would later confirm that he was correct.

In case you missed the fun you can still get your Mets "April Series Champs" tee at any Modells in the NY metro area. The shirts retail for $34.99 and will be available until Sunday. After that, any unsold shirts will be sent to TJ Maxx and marked down to $5.
