Yeah whatever, they beat the Phillies. But we laugh at the Mets at the end of every season regardless of the circumstances:

Love it. A harmless bit of trolling after after the Mutts completed their 38th-straight season without a World Series title.

The responses from fans are funny though:

• “I repeat, with the utmost disrespect, I hope the next round of layoffs hit you and your entire creative team the hardest and your next job search is severely hindered by the fact you got fired”
• “Go f yourself ESPN”
• “The hilarious part is that y’all just look bitter and angry. There’s nothing clever about insulting a team and fanbase that actually had fun and had a great season and great vibes. Just say you’re being jealous babies and move on.”
• “How many more of these trash posts do you have?”
• “nobody mocked Cleveland when the Yankees won in 5 games but sure!”
• “ESPN literally acting like they are a Dodgers fan account”
• “Yo is the admin actually a Dodgers fan wtf”
• This is definitely normal from a corporate account!
• “Like what even is the point of this, I don’t see any other teams getting trolled by this joke of a sports network.”
• “The classless cheap shots being taken by ESPN and FOX just verifies that MLB and FOX wanted one World Series matchup and they were rooting for it.”

Gotta say, I don’t think the last comment there is off-base. A Dodgers/Yankees World Series is going to hit like television crack. Can’t draw up a better matchup than that, although a Subway Series would have been great for viewership as well. As Tony Bruno used to say, “we’d like to thank the New York Mets for participating in the MLB playoffs.”
