24 things we're just as confident in as a Jeurys Familia save in 2018
Jeurys Familia has four blown saves in 17 chances this season. In other words, he’s failed to shut the door roughly 25 percent of the time. That’s simply unacceptable.
At this point, I have no confidence whatsoever when Familia enters a game, which puts him in the company of countless closers from the past that fans watched with one eye open.
Here is a list of things I have more confidence in happening than Familia converting a save:
- Lucy not pulling the football away from Charlie Brown
- Skip Bayless making a reasonable point
- Proving that Earth is flat
- Spotting Big Foot
- Tom Brady aging
- Finding the Big Bang Theory funny
- Omar Minaya returning to the Mets. Wait, what?!?
- A statue of Tom Seaver being built at Citi Field
- Fully understanding Lost
- Phil Mickelson winning a U.S. Open
- Watching just one episode of The Office
- Stephen A. Smith speaking at a normal volume
- Steven Matz making 30 starts in a season
- Facebook not stealing my identity
- Getting clarity on The Sopranos finale
- America uniting around a singular presidential candidate
- Weathermen accurately predicting a snowstorm
- Mike Francesa retiring
- Understanding bitcoin
- Grasping how the healthcare system works
- The Jets winning the Super Bowl
- Charles Oakley night at MSG
- Sean Hannity, Rachel Maddow, Rush Limbaugh, and Don Lemon having dinner together
- The Nationals winning a playoff series.

Thank you, Mets fans!
Despite the ending, I had such a fun season. Thanks for being a part of it with me either at Citi Field, on the road, or at the Playwright. I met so many new fans this year. Not new to the Mets, but new to hanging with T7LA. It was a great time. Every game new faces would show up, and that's always encouraged. I know it's tough for some people to throw themselves in to a new situation, but I promise we don't bite. One of my favorite things about The 7 Line Army is watching strong friendships form from it.
Postseason Tailgates At Citi Field!
We'll be tailgating in our usual spot in the Marina Lot before all home Postseason games! Fans should be rolling in at least 4 hours before first pitch. BE THERE! As always, you don't need to be sitting with The 7 Line Army to tailgate together.
No T7L Postseason Merch?!?!
Your eyes do not deceive you, we don't have any available Mets 2024 Postseason merch. It's not that we don't have designs ready to go, we just aren't allowed to release them for another 2 weeks. Fanatics gets an exclusive 2 week window on licensed merch.
