Listen to How the End of the 2025 Mets’ Season Sounded on TV and Radio

When I first joined Twitter and started taking part in the sports discourse, it was mostly about what we loved and hated about our own teams. It was fun talking to other Philly fans about the issues with our sports teams and reveling in the fun moments, even though there weren’t many from 2012-2017 before the Eagles made their Super Bowl run. But along the way, I started realizing how toxic a place social media can be when there are people on there to just try and crap on every single thing someone else enjoys. Braves and Mets fans were among the worst, with Giants and Cowboys fans not far behind. Constantly in my replies just trolling, in hopes I’d argue back. And it worked for a bit. My previous Twitter account, before it got banned (DMCA came for those Titanic videos), would constantly have random fans show up under my posts that had nothing to do with their teams. So, over time, I started thinking of how to respond to these people instead of argue about nothing. It’s merely a reaction to the trolls.
What really just became a fun little hobby has turned into this bit. And, come on, you think a Mets collapse doesn’t deserve the attention I’m giving it? After all that talk from Mets fans throughout the season? How they were going to beat us again in October “when it mattered?” Well, they can’t say that anymore. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the Mets losing game 162 against the Miami Marlins, eliminating them from postseason contention.
Don’t worry if the Phillies don’t win the World Series. There are 12 teams that made the postseason, and 11 won’t win the whole thing. It won’t take away my enjoyment of September 28th, and it shouldn’t scare you enough to not crack a smile once in a while.
