Mets Perfectly Troll Themselves On Twitter After The Worst Loss In Team History
The New York Mets suffered their worst loss in franchise history on Tuesday night when they were humbled by the Washington Nationals.
Final score: 25-4.
Or, as the Mets themselves put it on Twitter:
FINAL: 🙈

The team also responded to fans as the disaster unfolded with some banter that was a whole lot better than the game, at least for the team’s supporters:
Sigh, @Mets .... how do you give up a touchdown and extra point in the 1st? 🙄🙄🙄

They ran back the opening kickoff

When you finally finish a bedtime fight for the ages and come down to see the @Mets are down a couple touchdowns 🙄🙄

Sorry, Justin. Pumped about the bedtime thing though.

The Mets can take some small solace in the fact that it’s not the most lopsided score in MLB history. The distinction goes to an 1897 game in which the Chicago Colts defeated the Louisville Colonels by a score of 36-7.
The most lopsided in modern history was a 30-3 shellacking the Texas Rangers delivered to the Baltimore Orioles in 2007.
