Curse of the Mambino
[SportsIllustrated] It all started when the mayor hugged Mr. and Mrs. Met back on April 9.

Everyone loves a good sports curse. Well, except for the fans of the team enduring the curse, of course. There's the Madden Curse in the NFL, the Billy Goat Curse for Cubs fans and the Curse of the Bambino for Red Sox fans, to name a few.

Now, Mets fans are suffering from what media has deemed the "Curse of the Mambino." Back on April 9, Mamdani attended the Mets vs Diamondbacks game at Citi Field. He greeted Mr. and Mrs. Met, the team's beloved mascots, and hugged them both. New York went on to lose 7-1 to Arizona that night,
---------------------
The Mets went on to lose the next 9 games.

Yesterday (25 June) the Mets became the first team in MLB history to strike out over 10 batters, allow no earned runs, and hit two home runs in a single game but fail to claim the win.

Today (26 June) the Mets manager was fired.
