It is a lot harder to make fun of the Mets now that they are one of the best teams in baseball, but it’s impossible to see this tweet and not say something.
Mets superstar infielder Francisco Lindor was ruled out in the first game of their series against the Dodgers because he caught a finger in the door of a hotel room. Even just typing that out right now feels absurd, but sometimes the truth is way stranger than fiction.
If it hurt enough that a professional athlete decided to sit out, it must have been a brutal slam. But one person who sees the humor in the situation is Mets owner Steve Cohen.
