Mets Shortstop's New Song "OMG" Sparks Post-Game Celebration

After a disappointing start to the season, the New York Mets are finally starting to find their groove. A 16-6 month of June has pushed the team to 40-39 and squarely in the middle of the postseason conversation. And after Friday night's 7-2 win over the Houston Astros, the Mets had another reason to celebrate: the release of shortstop Jose Iglesias' new song "OMG."

Despite high expectations and a record-high payroll, the New York Mets have had a disastrous start to the 2023 season. Through the month of May, it seemed like the Mets would be heading for much of the same, even in a mediocre National League.

But June has been a different story. A 16-6 month has pushed the Mets to 40-39 and squarely in the middle of the postseason conversation. Turning your season around would be reason to celebrate enough, but after Friday night's 7-2 win over the Houston Astros, the Mets had another excuse to throw a party: the release of shortstop Jose Iglesias' new song "OMG."

That's not a misprint. Iglesias, who also uses the name "Candelita" as a recording artist, put out his "OMG" song on Spotify earlier in the day on Friday. And gave a virtuoso performance of it after the game, with the rest of his Mets teammates backing him up. Seriously. Here's the video.

The postgame concert was a ton of fun for the team, and based on the number of fans who stuck around to see it, the crowd too. It raises an important question though; would the Mets have held the concert if they'd have lost Friday's game? Thankfully, they didn't have to worry about it, thanks to home runs from Tyrone Taylor, Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil. Still, you'd have to imagine that the real highlight for Mets fans wasn't the game, but the postgame concert.

And credit where it's due, Iglesias put out a banger. Who knows, maybe the Mets will ride the wave of positive energy to a surprising postseason berth. "OMG" indeed.

Iglesias' new song is just the latest example of the Mets' newfound swagger. After years of being overshadowed by their crosstown rivals, the Yankees, the Mets are finally starting to make some noise of their own. They're playing well on the field, and they're having fun off of it. And with Iglesias leading the way, who knows what the rest of the season holds?

It was a truly special moment for the Mets, and it's clear that the team is starting to gel. With Iglesias leading the way, who knows what the rest of the season holds?
