Meet The Mess, 2010 Edition

Back in May and June, people were asking me what I thought of the Mets’ then-hot performance. “Wait until after the All-Star break,” I would say, burned by attendance at the season-closing games in 2007 and 2008 and various other instances of stupidly getting my hopes up. (In baseball and in life, man.) Well, not to say that I was right, but I was kind of right. Or, as the person updating the Mets-centric Twitter account for local sports yakker WFAN put it, “Frankie [Rodriguez] in police custody [for assaulting his father-in-law], tarp on the field, raining [sic] coming down, Joe and Evan yelling in the booth. Another morning in paradise.” Yep, that about sums it up. And he didn’t even need to mention the team’s 8–18 record since the break! At least this will be great for the lines at Shake Shack? [Pic via]
