Wednesday night’s Mets game stunk. There’s no ifs, ands, or butts about that.
But, naturally, in typical Mets fashion, this massacre wasn’t enough. After the game a video went viral of Mr. Met flipping of fans. In case you were living under a rock and didn’t see this video, it’s below. You’re welcome.

The Mets of course issued a statement afterwards. In typical #MetsTwitter fashion, fans had a bit of fun with this image. Why? Well that’s pretty much common sense — there’s many other aspects of this season that this apology can be applicable to.
Our friends at Good Fundies had just a bit of fun..

Sports Illustrated took it a bit too far. Seriously, too soon guys. Way too soon. This is just mean.
You knew there had to be a Rafael Montero reference somewhere.

And all of the Terry Collins mismanaging the bullpen tweets happened, as you can imagine.
Can't wait to tweet this after every Terry botched bullpen. pic.twitter.com/ql33Rou1mr

Jason Bay even made an appearance, because of course he did.

Then there was also this, which I’m not even going to comment on.

Some went the funny, poetic route.
Mr. Met sits patiently in his manager's office. He slowly shakes his head in shame then lowers his face into his fluffy cupped hands. https://t.co/vuRWvMyTzl

And realism set in. Yes, yes you will. For the rest of the season at the very least.
I'm sure I won't see this statement image plastered throughout the internet after every negative team occurrence for the rest of my life. https://t.co/LmwN4EB0bQ

Ugh. But we can’t argue this one even though we’d like to. Jacob deGrom was just not deGrom on Wednesday night.
This statement could also apply to Jacob deGrom's performance tonight.... https://t.co/ZSmagnlb63

And finally, of course, there were quite the few Ray Ramirez references as well. We’re sure this won’t be the last of these tweets either.
The punishment is an appointment with Ray Ramirez for a "treatment" on that finger. #Mets https://t.co/Lyorc6hS9E

I'll take this as an apology for keeping Ray Ramirez on staff. Apology not accepted @Mets https://t.co/YDTAK2fKqV

Next: Mets uneven play this season is wearing on fans
#MetsTwitter, never change. We are 100% aware that we will be seeing this image quite often from here on out, and honestly, we’ll all probably need the good laugh, just like we did last night.
And, if you ever wanted the job of being Mr. Met, it looks like there now may be an opening. Keep your eyes open for a job description!
