The Mets truly are the gift that keeps giving. What a hilarious disaster of a season.
Some highlights so far:
-The signing of Frankie Lindor to a massive contract with a year remaining on his current deal. Just another swing and a miss on a big free agent contract.
-Frankie Lindor getting into fights with teammates about his poor play leading to the infamous rats in a tunnel gongshow
-Practically every Steve Cohen quote is hilariously bad.
-Pete Alonso acting like a clown during the Home Run Derby and proclaiming himself the best power hitter in the game.
-Pete Alonso telling Mets fans to be lucky that they get to watch the game of baseball and to relax
-Selling some big assets to acquire an aging ego in Javier Baez
-Fans booing players and player booing fans.
There's probably so much more but I'm too busy laughing.
And with all that they somehow managed to stay in first place for half a season only to collapse in ridiculous fashion. One can only imagine what the remaining 35 games will bring.
