Meet the Mets: 2023 Edition

I was wrong again. LOLMETS never dies, it merely mutates into different forms. Behold quite possibly the most agonizing and soul-crushing season since 1992 for the Orange and Blue. Sometimes, fate has a way of working things out on their own.
Daddy Steve is probably losing his mind right about now.

[@Aviator43]

Going from "We're not the Knicks" to "We're not the Nets" is serious character growth

Yoenis Cespedes opening every single role call for some reason is my favorite part. His name is so unique and ear catching, instantly recognized every time.
