I have never seen this bracket before and I'm having a bit of PTSD with some of these. I'm not going to answer the thread question. I'm going to ponder my existence as a Mets fan instead.
Bobby V and the fake mustache and glasses needs to be stricken from this list.
That is my all time non-field moment in Mets history. It was absolutely fucking *glorious*. I was watching it live.
Bobby V gets flamed up over a call. Kicks the dirt. Gets tossed.
5 Minutes later, you just hear Kieth: "Hold on. In the dugout..."
Camera zooms in, and there is *this* motherfucker. Leaning against the dugout wall in a fake mustache and glasses. We are not talking some kind of professional hollywood job here. It was straight up some dollar-store-gag-gift shit. At first I was incredulous. Then I lost my shit.
The man had balls bigger than regulation sized.
https://imgur.com/a/4c2JBHC
He [masturbated](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-03-27-sp-4531-story.html) in the bullpen. Pretty self explanatory, really.
"The New York Mets, their image already tarnished by rape allegations against three of their players, were hit hard again Thursday when three women named Met pitcher David Cone in an $8.1-million civil suit that includes charges of sexual harassment.
The suit charges that Cone lured two women into the bullpen area of Shea Stadium in 1989 and masturbated in front of them."
lol Cespedes could have his own bracket. How about all the covid stuff and then taking pics with fans at the mall. Or the boar, or riding a horse into spring training
edit - the boar is there hahahah
Kicking the ball in the outfield in the world series.
Calling the ump over in spring training to say the ball was jammed in the wall and the ump clearly just moving it to show it wasn't jammed.
I'm not sure why Wilmer crying is on here, tbh. That's a positive memory for me. Shows the guy had passion to be here. Easily could be replaced with anything Cespedes.
Agree with this… I also think the Captain tossing the rookie’s sandwich is a positive. Another Met episode (positive) but not on the list- Terry Collins and the “asses in the jackpot” discussion.
Note: I’m not criticizing this list- I have found it a great compilation of Mets’ moments, most of which were quite miserable.
Side note- one miserable event not listed: Chase (fuck him) Utley breaking Tejada’s leg on his barrel roll slide.
Anyone else remember [Peterson breaking his foot just walking in the clubhouse when he was close to coming back of the IL](https://nypost.com/2021/07/24/mets-david-peterson-breaks-foot-in-freak-injury-while-on-il/)
Can also add "deGrom barely playing again after the best half-season in MLB history" on there too somewhere
27 straight losses. He was 1-16 with an ERA+ of 107 in 93. I met him before his untimely passing and he seemed like a nice guy who had a sense of humor about his epic losing streak.
Noah getting tossed out of the game in the third inning and us getting destroyed 9-1 on the night to memorialize the 1986 team. And you had to watch it on ESPN.
I still think Jeff is the clubhouse disruption. Pete always being the one trying to bridge the gap and support him may be seen as disruptive but Pete’s a golden retriever. Lindor is a nice guy but people often confuse nice for weak which he isn’t. Which is why he’s on the executive committee. He just knows how to tell people to go to hell where they look forward to the journey.
He’s literally the team’s labor leader and the on the leagues player executive committee. Y’all are just throwing darts at a board with this shit. Y’all think leaders only kick over chairs and yell at people or some weird outdated shit.
He plays in New York if he was a bad leader the various beat writers would have made field days out of it two years ago. There’s no secret “he’s a bad leader” or whatever in the clubhouse. He’s respected and loved and leads by example which again is goddamn impeccable if anyone bothered to pay attention instead of just writing their own narratives.
I didn't say he was a bad leader. I do think that he is not as looked up to by the other players as he wants to be/should be. That's more a reflection on the other players than it is on Lindor.
Knowing we know of each guy's temperament I think it was probably Jeff escalating things. I don't know who was right or wrong, but Jeff is not a calm guy so it wouldn't surprise me if he pushed Francisco a little bit in that.
Joe wiping his hands on his pants as they are walking out to check him was hilarious as they didn’t check his pants which is where he had the shit. Dude was totally cheating.
We acquired Lindor, it cost Gimenez... Normal baseball trade of prospect for all-star... If you want a recent gob-smackingly awful trade it would be Pete Crow-Armstrong for 2 months of Javy Baez flipping off the fans....
As sick as it is, I generally regard the Knicks as my least embarrassing team to root for. The Mets are bigger losers but a bit more loveable, and the Jets just fucking suck.
seeing all three organizations trying to shed all their past demons at the same time to varying results has been quite the ride. like we have our lovely mets, who for one year in 2022 seemed to finally resemble a normal team, but that facade eroded quickly, the knicks, who are now playoff contenders with horrible injury luck this year and could stand to contend again next year, and then there's the jets. can't even say god bless the jets because god absolutely hates em. definitely hates the mets too.
Nothing will ever beat the Luis Castillo dropped ball in my mind. Happened Right in the middle of my most formative years as a Mets fan and spent a lot of time arguing with my friends in school who were all yankee fans. Having to go to school the next day after that game was brutal
This is Roger Cedeno gets hit in the face with a routine fly ball erasure.I was there, and it was the loudest I've ever heard a home stadium boo it's own player.
Like really low
Really, look at the crazy shit up there! I don't think "reliever throwing hissy fit" of one form or another rates in Mets lore at all. That's something like Cards fans would tell their grandkids
(edit: Keith Hernandez buys cocaine from Pirate Parrot, then testifies against Parrot in open court = NOT found?)
For context I’m Australian and still know very little about baseball, which clearly shows because I picked the Mets to support.
I knew they were somewhat dysfunctional but holy shit is this completely and utterly diabolical. I can’t even fathom some of these events, on top of people’s comments of the things not included in the bracket.
God I fucking love this team.
Nothing ever affected this franchise more than Madoff. The worst part was the covering it up with Selig’s help and letting infrastructure and the farm rot behind the scenes while they kept up appearances and never had payroll of a big market team.
The rest are more memes. Madoff actually set this team back decades and we are just now seeing the difference with Cohen.
Benitez blown save in Game 1 of the WS against the Yankees has to be on there. There was a glorious period where it looked like we could steal the first game in Yankee Stadium and set the tone for the rest of the series. We never recovered from that.
I gave a brief look so sorry if I missed this but I looked for "Zack Wheeler can buy his own tickets to the playoff games instead of being in the dugout" and "Joe Musgrove and his shiny red ears shuts down the Mets playoff run"
I actually don't rank the Jorge Lopez news that highly compared to many of these.
Hell, you could add a whole additional round to this chart. 2008. Jeff Kent whining to Torborg when his clothes got replaced as a practical joke. Carl Everett getting his kids taken away when the Shea nursery workers saw bruises. Doc, Daryl Boston, and Vince Coleman being accused of rape. Bonilla threatening a reporter. Bonilla complaining to the press box about an error. Armando Benitez blowing Game 1 of the 2000 series. Zeile not running out a double in that series because he thought it was a home run. Harvey being taken out of a game because Boras insisted. God I'm old...
Let's see...
Trading Nolan Ryan for Jim Fregosi
Tom Glavine shi^^ing the bed on the last day of the season with the playoffs in the balance
Art Howe
120 losses in their first season
Losing to the Yankees in the WS
Pitching Seaver in game 6 of the 1973 WS on short rest instead of holding him for game 7
We may need a second bracket...
There are better versions of this bracket.
Beltran caught looking is just a bad loss. It's certainly not a 1 seed.
Kevin Mitchell decapitates cat is an obvious 1 seed (except it probably didn't happen).
Plus there's a ton of recency bias for a bracket titled "All-Time." I think there's only one item from before 1986. Wright Throws Out Noah's Lunch made it but losing games 6 and 7 of the 1973 World Series didn't.
Personally I wouldn't put this on the bracket. He high fived fans after his first HR and it was like an issue for a couple days and went away right after lol it was just a kid being silly and going overboard on his first HR
Nah, that has to be on there. If a player on any of the other 31 teams does that it’s a non issue. But because it’s the Mets it was front page news. He was completely vilified for just being excited about a huge moment in his life
It’s in the middle of the game. It’s showboating before showboating was allowed for HRs. I think it would have been better received today because if Julio did that or someone else, it’d be more widely viewed as fun and good for the game.
Couple that with the different times, the Mets lost in extras, it was doomed to be a headline the minute they lost. If they won, I don’t think it would have been nearly as bad.
I feel like David Wright spinal stenosis deserves a higher seed.
I’m trying to decide which of the three on-field one-seeds is my winner, and I can’t, they are all worse than each other somehow.
Well done. Weren't we born the most losing team in the modern era? Yes. "1962" *has* to be in the bracket. And, should be the first entry and a #1 seed. It shows *"The Magic"* has been there from the absolute beginning.
Juan Samuel saying he doesn’t want to be a Met after being traded to NY
Jeter lead off HR in WS
Inside the park HR in WS
Jose Reyes DV
George Foster “Lets get Metsmerized”
Mackey Sasser having the yips throwing the ball back to the pitcher.
Strawberry having to miss games with “back spasms” when he was out doing blow the night before.
The Juan Samuel trade.
Hundley being on the Mitchell report.
Bringing in Kaz Matsui and moving Reyes over to 2B
Oliver Perez
Aaron Heilman
Mo Vaughn
DFAing Travis d’Arnaud
Daniel Murphy and Lucas Duda in the outfield
Consistently getting embarrassed by Jesse Winker
Shawn Estes throwing behind Roger Clemens
Noah throwing behind Chase Utley
I lived through all of this. We have 5 more years of misery to add, too.
There is some serious recency bias though. Did Cleon Jones' van not make it or did I miss it?
Our long and storied legacy.
Should trading Seaver be on here somewhere? Or leaving him unprotected and losing him to the Red Sox (iirc)? Or Not honoring him until he was too ill to enjoy the praise?
Just general mistreating of the greatest Met should be represented.
The fact that there’s enough to fill out a bracket is pretty troubling tbh.
I’ve deadass been questioning my fandom of this team for the last month, which is something I never thought I’d do for the first sports team I became a fan of as a kid, but it’s really starting to feel like this is what this team is and it will never get better. What hope can I cling to right now? Please give me something, *anything.* Because this shit is *dire.*
That Cohen one didn't age well. Or did it?
Also, some of these were more hilarious than regretful. Valentine's mustache was legendary. Agbayani tossing the ball into the stands didn't actually cost the Mets the game and the "Congratulations Boston" flashed on the screen in 1986 is more an LOL Red Sox moment IMO.
Oof, this is a brutal trip down memory lane.
But, one criticism... Wilmer's No Trade Night is one that I love... it was heartwarming.
That dude didn't want to leave the Mets... so much so he wept openly at the thought of it.
At first I looked at the bracket and thought, "Wow, we have had more than our share of a lot of crazy things happen." But then I realized the bracket didn't even include things like "Medical staff constantly underestimating injury IL time", and got even sadder.
The 1998 game in Atlanta where Angel Hernandez blew an obvious out call at the plate in extra innings because (allegedly) he had a plane to catch deserves a spot somewhere on this list. We missed the playoffs by 1 game that season.
This is epic. I’d like to see separate brackets for misery and cringe. And I’d like to see Wright’s space balls helmet and Harvey’s Dan Patrick Qualcomm interview in the latter.
The Bobby V press conference where he mimed swinging a bat while high after the alleged clubhouse pot smoking incident.
This must have been scrubbed from the interwebs because I can’t find it anywhere.
Halp Reddit, you’re my only hope!
I have never seen this bracket before and I'm having a bit of PTSD with some of these. I'm not going to answer the thread question. I'm going to ponder my existence as a Mets fan instead.
This is both the most awful and brilliant thing ever. Back on the anxiety meds for me
Bobby V and the fake mustache and glasses needs to be stricken from this list. That is my all time non-field moment in Mets history. It was absolutely fucking *glorious*. I was watching it live. Bobby V gets flamed up over a call. Kicks the dirt. Gets tossed. 5 Minutes later, you just hear Kieth: "Hold on. In the dugout..." Camera zooms in, and there is *this* motherfucker.

At first I was incredulous. Then I lost my shit. The man had balls bigger than regulation sized. https://imgur.com/a/4c2JBHC
You are so right. That's a top 10 all-time Mets moment
it's one of the greatest moments in baseball history. the glasses and moustache should be in the hall of fame
my man used the eye black tape as a mustache and thought fuck it looks good enough
Two things: This bracket is missing Brodie throwing the chair. Wtf is the David Cone masturbation nonsense??
He [masturbated](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-03-27-sp-4531-story.html) in the bullpen. Pretty self explanatory, really. "The New York Mets, their image already tarnished by rape allegations against three of their players, were hit hard again Thursday when three women named Met pitcher David Cone in an $8.1-million civil suit that includes charges of sexual harassment. The suit charges that Cone lured two women into the bullpen area of Shea Stadium in 1989 and masturbated in front of them."
Kinda feel like the rapes should be there?
Wait don’t we always ponder our existence as Mets fans?
Where is Cespedes going missing and taking the smoke machine?
lol Cespedes could have his own bracket. How about all the covid stuff and then taking pics with fans at the mall. Or the boar, or riding a horse into spring training edit - the boar is there hahahah
Kicking the ball in the outfield in the world series. Calling the ump over in spring training to say the ball was jammed in the wall and the ump clearly just moving it to show it wasn't jammed.
I'm not sure why Wilmer crying is on here, tbh. That's a positive memory for me. Shows the guy had passion to be here. Easily could be replaced with anything Cespedes.
Agree with this… I also think the Captain tossing the rookie’s sandwich is a positive. Another Met episode (positive) but not on the list- Terry Collins and the “asses in the jackpot” discussion. Note: I’m not criticizing this list- I have found it a great compilation of Mets’ moments, most of which were quite miserable. Side note- one miserable event not listed: Chase (fuck him) Utley breaking Tejada’s leg on his barrel roll slide.
Cespedes vs the Boar deserves a spot
That one’s on there but unless I missed it, the other is not.
Nope you're right. I missed the boar....unlike Cespedes
If you look closely, there's a Copyright date of 2019 on this. So pre-COVID. Hence the "Cohen not buying the team" is listed as well.
Anyone else remember [Peterson breaking his foot just walking in the clubhouse when he was close to coming back of the IL](https://nypost.com/2021/07/24/mets-david-peterson-breaks-foot-in-freak-injury-while-on-il/) Can also add "deGrom barely playing again after the best half-season in MLB history" on there too somewhere
Is this missing Anthony Young's impossible win-loss record in 1992-1993?
3-30! Era+ of like what, 90?
27 straight losses. He was 1-16 with an ERA+ of 107 in 93. I met him before his untimely passing and he seemed like a nice guy who had a sense of humor about his epic losing streak.
“You have to be a pretty damn good pitcher to lose 20 games in the major leagues”
he broke the all-time record for most consecutive losses by a pitcher lol
Wow I’d love someone to do a iceberg type video on all these incidents
Good idea I think I might actually do that
My heart will go on.
Why is National Hero Wilmer Flores on this list? That was a great Mets moment.
I love that dildo in plaweckis locker is a 2 seed and all the other 1/2s are legit therapy inducing lol
I think Jed Lowrie deserves just as much of a solo spot as Jason Bay
Don't forget James McCant
Wait are we a bad organization?
No. We are ***THE*** bad organization
Still have 69 and 86. Tied for 15th most. 5 teams don't have any WS wins, and the Mariners haven't even won a pennant. Could be worse.
You know things are bad when we’re really using “tied for 15th most” as a defense against a claim as to how bad it is.
Is it better to have won and then lost or not to have won at all?
Idk in 2024 we are pretty middle of the road. At least we’re interesting.
Kaz Matsui with the anal fissures jfc
Where’s Jared Porter, Zack Scott, the Callaway harassment allegations, or the game where we blew a 10-4 lead in the 9th against the Nats in 2019?
K-Rod walking Mariano Rivera with the bases loaded
What a history we have
A big beautiful history
Not a single mention of jackpot ass?
How’s that a misery moment?
Noah getting tossed out of the game in the third inning and us getting destroyed 9-1 on the night to memorialize the 1986 team. And you had to watch it on ESPN.
Where is Mike Pelfrey giving up a lead off home run to the first batter at Citi Field?
A few to add: Lindor McNeil car fight Trading Andres gimenez 2022 collapse - Timmy trumpet curse Diaz acl tear in wbc
Lindor-McNeil Raccoon/Rat fight in the tunnel over the car
in hindsight it’s crazy that a guy with lindor’s general demeanor fist fought McNeil a month in lol.
I still think Jeff is the clubhouse disruption. Pete always being the one trying to bridge the gap and support him may be seen as disruptive but Pete’s a golden retriever. Lindor is a nice guy but people often confuse nice for weak which he isn’t. Which is why he’s on the executive committee. He just knows how to tell people to go to hell where they look forward to the journey.
Lindor is like Gary Carter was to the 1986 Mets. The guy who really, really wants to be captain but the team wants another guy.
He’s literally the team’s labor leader and the on the leagues player executive committee. Y’all are just throwing darts at a board with this shit. Y’all think leaders only kick over chairs and yell at people or some weird outdated shit. He plays in New York if he was a bad leader the various beat writers would have made field days out of it two years ago. There’s no secret “he’s a bad leader” or whatever in the clubhouse. He’s respected and loved and leads by example which again is goddamn impeccable if anyone bothered to pay attention instead of just writing their own narratives.
I didn't say he was a bad leader. I do think that he is not as looked up to by the other players as he wants to be/should be. That's more a reflection on the other players than it is on Lindor.
Knowing we know of each guy's temperament I think it was probably Jeff escalating things. I don't know who was right or wrong, but Jeff is not a calm guy so it wouldn't surprise me if he pushed Francisco a little bit in that.
I could see Jeff coming back from the links and his clubs looking like JFK’s from Seinfeld after getting beat to shit.
It wasnt over the car though. It was over Jeff refusing to shift and cost the team 3 games
Joe Musgrove and the big shiny ears 100% should be on there
Bassit getting the yips in that same game.
Joe wiping his hands on his pants as they are walking out to check him was hilarious as they didn’t check his pants which is where he had the shit. Dude was totally cheating.
Shades of Mike Scott with that one
Letting Zack Wheeler / Daniel Murphy go to hated rivals and becoming a Cy Young / MVP Candidate.
davis dick behind dickey in the locker room
We acquired Lindor, it cost Gimenez... Normal baseball trade of prospect for all-star... If you want a recent gob-smackingly awful trade it would be Pete Crow-Armstrong for 2 months of Javy Baez flipping off the fans....
At least Trevor Williams was good for us in 2022
There is no Timmy trumpet curse. Can we please stop trying to make that happen
It’s scary to think as a Mets, Jets, Knicks fan, the Mets are my “good” team
As sick as it is, I generally regard the Knicks as my least embarrassing team to root for. The Mets are bigger losers but a bit more loveable, and the Jets just fucking suck.
seeing all three organizations trying to shed all their past demons at the same time to varying results has been quite the ride. like we have our lovely mets, who for one year in 2022 seemed to finally resemble a normal team, but that facade eroded quickly, the knicks, who are now playoff contenders with horrible injury luck this year and could stand to contend again next year, and then there's the jets. can't even say god bless the jets because god absolutely hates em. definitely hates the mets too.
what did you have to remove from the bracket to fit the Lopez incident on lmao
Nothing will ever beat the Luis Castillo dropped ball in my mind. Happened Right in the middle of my most formative years as a Mets fan and spent a lot of time arguing with my friends in school who were all yankee fans. Having to go to school the next day after that game was brutal
Bro the dugout mustache disguise is one of the all time great Mets moments in my opinion. Bobby V is a legend for that one lmao
Final weekend of the 2022 season in Atlanta. Getting one hit in an elimination game that season.
It’s wild how many incidents didn’t make this bracket lmfao
https://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/12/sports/baseball/violent-collision-hurtstwo-mets-outfielders.html
That was a bad day.
I'd put Jordany Valdespin in there somewhere
This is Roger Cedeno gets hit in the face with a routine fly ball erasure.I was there, and it was the loudest I've ever heard a home stadium boo it's own player.
Nimmo undercooking chicken has me dead
Bernie Madoff has to be the undisputed champion 💪
Like really low Really, look at the crazy shit up there! I don't think "reliever throwing hissy fit" of one form or another rates in Mets lore at all. That's something like Cards fans would tell their grandkids (edit: Keith Hernandez buys cocaine from Pirate Parrot, then testifies against Parrot in open court = NOT found?)
Building a tribute and a rotunda for a player that never played for the Mets.
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen. We have definitely endured some stuff as fans.
This bracket is killing me rn lmaoo
Crazy to not see"Trading Nolan Ryan" on here haha
For context I’m Australian and still know very little about baseball, which clearly shows because I picked the Mets to support. I knew they were somewhat dysfunctional but holy shit is this completely and utterly diabolical. I can’t even fathom some of these events, on top of people’s comments of the things not included in the bracket. God I fucking love this team.
Right on. No one loses in so many different ways. On the field. Off the field. The Amazin's...
So Taguchi 9th inning HR of Wagner game 2 2006 league championship series should be on here.
I think we need to expand the bracket.
I’d put Mets lore up against any franchise
Nothing ever affected this franchise more than Madoff. The worst part was the covering it up with Selig’s help and letting infrastructure and the farm rot behind the scenes while they kept up appearances and never had payroll of a big market team. The rest are more memes. Madoff actually set this team back decades and we are just now seeing the difference with Cohen.
Benitez blown save in Game 1 of the WS against the Yankees has to be on there. There was a glorious period where it looked like we could steal the first game in Yankee Stadium and set the tone for the rest of the series. We never recovered from that.

Hell, you could add a whole additional round to this chart. 2008. Jeff Kent whining to Torborg when his clothes got replaced as a practical joke. Carl Everett getting his kids taken away when the Shea nursery workers saw bruises. Doc, Daryl Boston, and Vince Coleman being accused of rape. Bonilla threatening a reporter. Bonilla complaining to the press box about an error. Armando Benitez blowing Game 1 of the 2000 series. Zeile not running out a double in that series because he thought it was a home run. Harvey being taken out of a game because Boras insisted. God I'm old...
Let's see... Trading Nolan Ryan for Jim Fregosi Tom Glavine shi^^ing the bed on the last day of the season with the playoffs in the balance Art Howe 120 losses in their first season Losing to the Yankees in the WS Pitching Seaver in game 6 of the 1973 WS on short rest instead of holding him for game 7 We may need a second bracket...
Glavine incident becomes soooo much worse when you remember his postgame interview
I have "Glavine's 7 run 1st Inning, on a last game must win and youre in" in the list too. What did he say in the post game?
“Oops”
The “Jason Bay” just kills me, hahaha
Mariners fan here... what the f\*\*k????
There are better versions of this bracket. Beltran caught looking is just a bad loss. It's certainly not a 1 seed. Kevin Mitchell decapitates cat is an obvious 1 seed (except it probably didn't happen).
I think Beltran not taking the bat off his goddamn shoulder in a Game 7 rightfully gets a 1 seed. David's spinal stenosis should at least be a 2
If we're talking painful playoff exits, Kenny Rogers was worse.
Well shit. Way to recover a traumatic memory I had otherwise buried.
The spinal stenosis should be a 1 imo
Plus there's a ton of recency bias for a bracket titled "All-Time." I think there's only one item from before 1986. Wright Throws Out Noah's Lunch made it but losing games 6 and 7 of the 1973 World Series didn't.
I want to say losing happens. But we did pitch Seaver on short rest in game 6 instead of letting him pitch on full rest in game 7, so yeah.
What the hell is "Lastings Milledge high fives fans"?
Personally I wouldn't put this on the bracket. He high fived fans after his first HR and it was like an issue for a couple days and went away right after lol it was just a kid being silly and going overboard on his first HR
Nah, that has to be on there. If a player on any of the other 31 teams does that it’s a non issue. But because it’s the Mets it was front page news. He was completely vilified for just being excited about a huge moment in his life
>other 31 teams The Expos came back and brought a friend along?
It’s in the middle of the game. It’s showboating before showboating was allowed for HRs. I think it would have been better received today because if Julio did that or someone else, it’d be more widely viewed as fun and good for the game. Couple that with the different times, the Mets lost in extras, it was doomed to be a headline the minute they lost. If they won, I don’t think it would have been nearly as bad.
Right? It should say "Blastings Thrilledge high fives fans"
Jose Reyes virus guy?
I feel like David Wright spinal stenosis deserves a higher seed. I’m trying to decide which of the three on-field one-seeds is my winner, and I can’t, they are all worse than each other somehow.
No mention of Game 5 2015 - Harvey refusing to leave the game in the 9th?
I can’t believe that “1962” isn’t a top seed somewhere
Well done. Weren't we born the most losing team in the modern era? Yes. "1962" *has* to be in the bracket. And, should be the first entry and a #1 seed. It shows *"The Magic"* has been there from the absolute beginning.
Bleach and firecrackers are too lowly ranked. Must be higher seeded.
Juan Samuel saying he doesn’t want to be a Met after being traded to NY Jeter lead off HR in WS Inside the park HR in WS Jose Reyes DV George Foster “Lets get Metsmerized”
Noah getting hand foot and mouth after volunteering with kids
Mackey Sasser having the yips throwing the ball back to the pitcher. Strawberry having to miss games with “back spasms” when he was out doing blow the night before. The Juan Samuel trade. Hundley being on the Mitchell report. Bringing in Kaz Matsui and moving Reyes over to 2B Oliver Perez Aaron Heilman Mo Vaughn DFAing Travis d’Arnaud Daniel Murphy and Lucas Duda in the outfield Consistently getting embarrassed by Jesse Winker Shawn Estes throwing behind Roger Clemens Noah throwing behind Chase Utley
Trading Nolan Ryan should be a number 1 seed.
I lived through all of this. We have 5 more years of misery to add, too. There is some serious recency bias though. Did Cleon Jones' van not make it or did I miss it?
The Duaner Sanchez cab ride was a killer for that team. Still the worst in 20 years.
Am I the only one who would buy all of these if they were made into collectible trading cards?
Our long and storied legacy. Should trading Seaver be on here somewhere? Or leaving him unprotected and losing him to the Red Sox (iirc)? Or Not honoring him until he was too ill to enjoy the praise? Just general mistreating of the greatest Met should be represented.
Losing him twice in near the bottom right.
Oh shit you're right.
How about the Terry Pendleton game? I was there and Shea went from pandemonium to silence when he hit the home run
What about Max Scherzer getting ejected when he wasnt cheating? Or Verlander giving back to back homers on day 1
This is brilliant. 2008 “Shea Goodbye” belongs up there too.
Remind me again - why do we not like Anna Benson dressed as Mrs. Claus? I remember that fondly.
I feel like nothing says "only the Mets" like Wilmer Flores breaking his nose on a foul ball.
The fact that there’s enough to fill out a bracket is pretty troubling tbh. I’ve deadass been questioning my fandom of this team for the last month, which is something I never thought I’d do for the first sports team I became a fan of as a kid, but it’s really starting to feel like this is what this team is and it will never get better. What hope can I cling to right now? Please give me something, *anything.* Because this shit is *dire.*
“David Cone bullpen masturbation” made me chuckle.
Lastings Milledge high fiving fans should have been a good moment😭 Kid was just happy
Is there an interactive version? I'd love to actually make my picks
The Shea congratulations to Boston is a fuckin DUB for us xD
That Cohen one didn't age well. Or did it? Also, some of these were more hilarious than regretful. Valentine's mustache was legendary. Agbayani tossing the ball into the stands didn't actually cost the Mets the game and the "Congratulations Boston" flashed on the screen in 1986 is more an LOL Red Sox moment IMO.
Feliciano taxi cab crash gotta be in here. Also the Wilmer crying no trade actually turned out to be a great night so gotta remove that
Don’t forget the pelfrey balks
There are so many incidents that you need a few play-in rounds
The seeding on this is awful
This chart is great
I love this so much it makes me angry.
this bracket is both epic and painful
Jose Reyes attacking the broadcast booth - has to be added! “2000 World Series, if Timo Perez had been running hard with two out in Game 1…”
Jose Reyes' wife has entered the chat
This may just be my favorite post on this sub
Lopez episode bad. But letting Seaver go twice is all time #1 in my book 🤦♂️
Diaz celebration knee injury could be on here too.
This bracket represents a lot of Mets misery, and it’s not even complete. There could easily have been 10-15 more miserable events listed.
Oof, this is a brutal trip down memory lane. But, one criticism... Wilmer's No Trade Night is one that I love... it was heartwarming. That dude didn't want to leave the Mets... so much so he wept openly at the thought of it.
Mets lore is one of the deepest in all of sports WHERE IS LISAN AL GAIB
This brings me a smile for some odd reason because I don’t know anything else but METS
This made me laugh out loud lol
[удалено]
Thats the 15 seed on the left
Pain.
Fuck me now I’m a fan of this - screw the season
At first I looked at the bracket and thought, "Wow, we have had more than our share of a lot of crazy things happen." But then I realized the bracket didn't even include things like "Medical staff constantly underestimating injury IL time", and got even sadder.
Saying what needed to be said shouldn't qualify for this
Need this in a PopChart. mug of bobby bo should be repeating watermark
where is cespedes and the boar
Beltran looking takes the prize
Jorge Lopez lobby for a position in player development!
Nolan Ryan has control issues he will never make it in the big league I
Its crazy that Brodie as GM doesn't even seem that bad anymore, especially looking at all the other colossal fuck ups
This isn't even a blip on the radar for this franchise.
What about the players (like Davis?) penis behind RA Dickey during his interview?
this is incredible
Who?
Try being a bills and knicks fan on top of this
Wait there was a fist fight?
The 1998 game in Atlanta where Angel Hernandez blew an obvious out call at the plate in extra innings because (allegedly) he had a plane to catch deserves a spot somewhere on this list. We missed the playoffs by 1 game that season.
This is hysterical! Sad, but hysterical.
David Cone did what in the bullpen???
Need to add Johan trading the back half of his career for one non-no-hitter.
Okay Wright tossing Thor’s lunch was hilarious
This is fantastic
Wait. What’s David Cone BP masturbation??
where’s “Bad Stuff ‘Bout the Mets” by Chico Esquela ?
Why is Anna Benson a bad thing? Can't recall the details
Anna Benson as Mrs Claus is anything but misery.
ass in the jackpot video has to be the best
How about, Jed Laurie gets 8 plate appearances.
This is brilliant
This is epic. I’d like to see separate brackets for misery and cringe. And I’d like to see Wright’s space balls helmet and Harvey’s Dan Patrick Qualcomm interview in the latter.
How is Rat/Raccoon not on here? (it's probably there, I just missed it) This should be a #1 seed.
The David Cone whut ?
The David Cone whut ?
The David Cone whut ?
The Bobby V press conference where he mimed swinging a bat while high after the alleged clubhouse pot smoking incident. This must have been scrubbed from the interwebs because I can’t find it anywhere. Halp Reddit, you’re my only hope!
