THE NEW YORK METS #LFGM

[SNY Mets @SNY_Mets]

OMG!

[Nick Brinkerhoff @RealNickBrink]

Phillies: “We are built for this. This is our moment. Enough talk. We’re ready for war! We are prepared to commit all the crimes and inflict pain on our enemies during this #RedOctober.”

Mets: “Lol here’s Grimace holding the playoff pumpkin dancing to OMG. #LGM”

[Nick Brinkerhoff @RealNickBrink]

OMG PETE 🍎

[New York Mets @Mets]

THE POLAR BEAR!!!!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING RIGHT NOW????

[Howie Rose @HowieRose]

I’m just a bit too young to remember the Dodgers and Giants leaving New York, but watching today’s finale in Oakland really leaves you numb. Watching adults and kids in tears accentuates a 57 yr bond. I realize it’s a complicated issue, but they deserved so, so much better.

#NFL refs must be getting paid by the flag this year

[Drew @DrewfromJersey]

I am not sure what the #Jets do well other than aggravate me

[Nick Brinkerhoff @RealNickBrink]

Five quarters into the Jets season…

Defense ➡️ Stinks
Penalties ➡️ Still a problem
Offense ➡️ Boring
Hackett ➡️ Calling plays like Zach Wilson is still the QB
Saleh ➡️ Still bad

Only 63 more quarters to go!

Every year around 9/11, I watch "The Man in the Red Bandana."

It's a tribute to former Boston College lacrosse player Welles Crowther, who died after saving nearly 20 lives that day.

Political debates don't matter in the grand scheme of things. Heroes like Welles do. ❤️🇺🇸
