The Mets selling NLCS tickets before Game 4 certainly won't come back to bite them in the ass

Someone bring this to the team! Someone get this tweet into the hands of Bryce Harper! The Mets think this series is so over that they're starting to sell NLCS tickets.* This is officially the Mets' “Atta Boy” moment. #LOLMets is written everywhere:

The Mets have NLCS single-game tickets on sale at noon today.

Should they advance, the Mets would host the NLCS Games 3-5 at Citi Field on October 16-18.

I'm not going to lie, I needed this. I was looking for something to hang my hat on and say, “You know what the baseball gods won't quite like.” It's cheesy, but it's all there is I have when the Phillies lineup is being wrestled.

Selling NLCS tix before the series is even over feels a little like Bill Belichick reading the Eagles' parade route to the Patriots the night before the Super Bowl:

If the Phillies come back and win this series, you'll know why. An organization like the Mets can't start selling tickets when the series isn't even over yet. What happened to the scrappy outsider? I thought that was exactly what the Mets wanted everyone to believe. That they didn't have the highest salaries in baseball and were just a bunch of guys held together with duct tape and Elmer's glue. You can't be the “Ya Gotta Believe”! Mets and then go out and put NLCS tickets on the market. Not when your organization is characterized by the worst collapses imaginable.

The baseball gods don't take kindly to such gestures. The scales of justice are tipped back in favor of the Phillies. If you're a Mets fan and bought an NLCS ticket, you know that Grimace's blood is on your hands, too.

That and Cindy are the only thing keeping me on the show at the moment:

*If you have a Phillies NLCS ticket email in your inbox, I don't want to hear about it.
