Mets Fans Go To That Dark Place In Darkest Hour After Epic Loss
The New York Mets, holding a 10-4 lead over the Washington Nationals in the bottom of the ninth inning on Tuesday, had a reported 99.7% chance of winning.
But in the world of the Mets, percentages often don’t matter. The team surrendered 7 runs to lose 11-10 and fall five games out of the second wild card spot in the National League.
Mets fans are a resilient bunch, but this one stung. Check out the lowlights (or highlights, depending on your point of view) and the fans’ reactions on Twitter below:

Being a Mets fan seems a lot like dating in New York — you know it won't ever end well and some guy with a dumb haircut will mess everything up but year after year, you try

The fact that I may have witnessed the Mets top 5 losses is baffling. I don’t give a fuck if you hate the Mets are want to laugh at them, that’s just heartbreaking to the fans. This shit is Luis levels of dropping a pop fly. Fuck this team. Sell the team pic.twitter.com/1c3j5WJrSZ
