The Mets Pursuit Of Kris Bryant Is Over Before It Even Began

What the fuck, Bobbbbbbbbbb? Wasn't it enough to mush the Mets out of Trevor Bauer earlier this year?

Thanks for that by the way!

However, there is quite a difference between jinxing my team out of signing a noted asshole whose rise in performance was tied to directly to doing whatever it took to increasing his spin rate and screwing us out of what will likely be the best bat available at the trade deadline that fit perfectly into our roster. I truly believe it's more likely that Scott Boras negotiates a 20 year, $20 contract for Kris Bryant to sign with the Cubs than any of us seeing Kris Bryant in a Mets jersey this year. That's the kind of power the Nightengale Curse holds.

I'm not saying I was banking on Kris Bryant hitting YABOs out of Citi Field for the next 3 months. But it felt like it had a pretty good chance of happening considering the Cubs are entering fire sale mode, the Mets needing one more right handed bat to really tie the lineup together like The Dude's rug, and Uncle Stevie being willing to blow past the luxury tax all in the name of a playoff push. 

Despite all that, we can stick those well laid plans up our well laid asses thanks to some living, breathing jinx with a Twitter account. Thanks for nothing Bob. I guess it's officially time to move on to Josh Donaldson, who admittedly will be absolutely beloved by the group of savages commonly referred to as Mets fans.
