Tomorrow is summer solstice, the day of the year the Northern Hemisphere has its maximum tilt towards the sun. In short, the longest period of sunlight. It is also the point of time in the year when the Amazings are in the midst of their annual collapse. This year’s collapse is especially hard on the Mets faithful as the good vibes of April and May along with a healthy record are being washed away by a flood of injuries and a long losing streak. Can the Mets recover in late summer and right the ship? History, injuries and a poor bottom half of the batting order say no. Next year will be the 40th anniversary of the last Mets World Series title. 39 years of collapses, darn the baseball gods.
