The late, great, Hall of Fame Manager Earl Weaver used to say, “Momentum?  Momentum is the next day’s starting pitcher.”  With that said, the Mets should have momentum all throughout 2016. 

With a 2-4 start, it hasn’t always worked out that way, but tonight Mets fans get to see Noah Syndergaard take the mound. Last time we saw him, he was doing things like this:

He’s become unhittable. He makes you want to jump out of your chair and scream:

Fact is, whenever you have Thor on the mound, your team has momentum. They can go out there and beat the ’27 Yankees. They can go out there and beat the Big Red Machine just like Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, and Jon Matlack did. When any member of a power triumvirate of Mets pitchers takes the mound, you have to like your chances of winning. You’ve got momentum. 

Tonight, momentum, thy name is Thor.
