NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Faces Surprising Blame Over Mets’ Losses

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is responding to claims he is to blame for the New York Mets' 11-game losing streak. He remains hopeful, expressing faith in the team's ability to turn their season around. Mets' Losing Streak Continues Mamdani commented during a press conference on April 12, emphasizing that there is still much baseball left to play. The Mets are currently 7-15 and have not won since April 7, two days after Mamdani visited Citi Field. The New York Post featured a playful headline, "Curse of the Mambino," comparing Mamdani's visit to the notorious Curse of the Bambino that plagued the Boston Red Sox for decades. Mamdani's Response and Confidence Addressing the ongoing situation, Mamdani humorously acknowledged being called "Mayor Mambino" but remained optimistic, saying he would keep his fingers crossed like any Mets fan. The Mets' players also expressed determination amid their struggles. Shortstop Francisco Lindor noted that while it’s not a good feeling, the team remains united and focused on finding a way out. Mamdani's Sports-Related Statements Mamdani has been active regarding New York's sports teams since taking office in January 2026. Recently, he reignited a rivalry with former Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young over Knicks playoff ticket prices. In response, Young reminded everyone of a past incident involving former Mayor Bill de Blasio during the 2021 playoff series against the Knicks where Young excelled.
