IN A 2003 episode of ‘Friends’, Joey Tribbiani uttered the immortal line: “Let me stop you right there, the Mets suck.”
15 years later not much has changed. In fact, things have actually gotten worse as the New York Mets got completely destroyed 25-4 in a humiliating MLB match against the Washington Nationals last night.
The defeat was the biggest losing margin the Mets had ever registered in their entire 57-year franchise history, as the team shipped seven runs in the opening inning, were 19-0 down after the fifth, and only registered their first run in the seventh.
The loss marks a new low for the Mets and, as the New York Times notes , the team is on course for over 90 losses — failure is clearly a habit that is now hard to break.
However, while the Mets may have lost the match, their social media team scored some garbage time points because of the way they handled the defeat on Twitter.
The ‘final score’ tweet was simple and not inaccurate:
They also mastered the art of the reply, here:
Sure if you didn’t laugh…
When they finally scored their first run of the night:
But hey, it’s not the biggest loss in the entire history of the MLB (so, eh GO METS!): the Baltimore Orioles were smashed 30-3 by the Texas Rangers in 2007 and, going back even further, the Louisville Colones had to lick their wounds after the Chicago Colts beat them 36-7 in 1897.

Barkley was always a tramp
Barkley was right. LeBron already has the highest paid team in the league. If he wants to complain about not having a backup point guard he should go to the boardroom, not the media.
Bringing Barkley’s past into it is a cheapshot aimed at deflecting from Barkley’s argument. I respect LeBron as a player but going public was a dumb move, just as ‘the decision’ was.
The decision worked out pretty well for him in fairness
The decision itself was a good one. The live broadcast announcing the decision was a mistake, and judging by how he announced his return to Cleveland I think LeBron knows it.
One only has to look at the warriors to understand why lebron is freaking out. Cavs sneak by in a finals series that could easily have gone the other way, and then the warriors go and add Durant! Can’t see the cavs competing with this years warriors team.
Lebron as usual will give it a 110%, be the best player in the series, and then get criticized for been overrun by a superior team.
Another know all pundit. If he knew all he thinks he knew he’d be a coach.
Lebron has Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, The highest paid roster in the league and they just brought in a great shooter in Kyle Korver. Shut the “f” up and play the game. Stop being a whiney little bytch.
