“If you would have told me eight years ago, while we were fishing on the lake, that you won two Cy Youngs in a row, I would have laughed in your face...Really proud of you. ” DeGrom’s best friend, Steven Matz, one of many teammates to congratulate Jake:

Through six major league seasons, Jacob deGrom has won Rookie of the Year, made three All-Star teams and now, is the 11th pitcher in major league history to win back-to-back Cy Young Awards. He needs to keep going, but the trajectory has now become Hall of Fame.

Russell Wilson is just ridiculous.

“I was so happy, I almost cried to be honest with you.” -Pete Alonso on his record tying home run

52. Pete Alonso has tied the rookie single season home run record.

For those who aren’t watching, Pete Alonso’s dad just ended an interview with us by saying “LFGM.” Perfect.

“For me, it just comes from a place where I wanted to show support. Not just to the victims, but the families as well, because no one really knows how deep those emotional scars can be.” Like I said, Pete Alonso just gets it.

2.0 GB. 17 left to play. Doable. Very doable.

You know, @Pete_Alonso20 just gets it. To honor the victims of 9/11, Alonso had custom cleats ordered for the entire team to wear tonight. Just another reminder that he’s no ordinary rookie.

Because you guys needed another reason to love Wilmer Flores, here’s video of him winking to Jacob deGrom in the middle of his standing ovation.

This team.

Hi. Citi Field is loud again. Really loud.
