Hello Mets fans, once again it is time for Mets Turkeys. This is an annual tradition where I fill some column space with some vaguely Thanksgiving related material! As always, this is just a silly post and no need to take it too seriously.
Dom Smith
Set an alarm clock! Or sleep late on day 17. This was an unfortunate incident on the wrong day and may have cost a young man his career.
Howie Rose!
I know right? I can’t believe Howie made the list, but the “Hodges Moment” line is the worst line of Howie’s career, and the media ran with it, and well….the Mets didn’t seem all that Hodgesy. You can’t start whipping out the Gil Stuff on Day One Howie, you know better.
Keith Hernandez
Keith admitted his game prep is reading the newspaper and listening to Mike Francesca. That sounds like something I would make up just to be a jerk, but that’s his actual prep. It might have been OK prep for a game in 1988, but Keith you would have been playing in that game. It’s unacceptable in 2018.
The Dark Knight
You probably forgot that Matt was on the 2018 Mets. It does seem like a long time ago. By the end of the summer I was kinda in Matt’s corner as I found his Reds-era quite fascinating, but in the spring….bro you can’t wear MH33 socks and not expect to get ripped.
Mickey Hodges
I mean the Hodges moment and the 11-1 start were nice…but all you had to do was play .500 with FIVE four aces and you couldn’t even do that.
Me.
Does this guy even like baseball? (No.) He doesn’t even go to games and goes to bed at 9:45pm. Where does he get off saying anything about anyone? What a jerk.
Lyin’ Todd Frazier
First I get blocked for ripping a t-shirt on his website. Todd, ask Matt Harvey what it’s like to be poked fun of. I didn’t even rip YOU I ripped a t-shirt.
Then I got unblocked during Todd Frazier Coronation Week (aka Williamsport) only to be suspiciously blocked again the next day. THEN Lyin’ Todd lied to umpires about catching a foul ball. Sad!
Todd, I live in NJ, can’t we be friends? It’s not like I ripped your socks.
The Daily News!
No the Mets are not trading Thor and JDG to the Yankees. I feel bad people lost their jobs but that this is one of the last thing the sports department created sort of puts a button on things.
Get ready Mets fans. Here’s the @NYDNSports back page for Friday. @BackPageGuyNYDN @MLBNetwork @espn https://t.co/Y7txD1qtti pic.twitter.com/75GAU0bq68

Lenny Dykstra
You know what would be nice? Picking up the newspaper and reading that Lenny attended church and then volunteered at a soup kitchen. Unfortunately his headlines usually sound like the plots of a movie HBO only shows after midnight.
The Virus!
I don’t even know why, I just like saying The Virus and I love using this picture.
Anyone who played in a Jacob deGrom game not named Jacob deGrom.
Jesus guys, can you score the guy a run? Anyone? All of you – turkeys, every 5th day, all summer.
Anyone who took place in David Wright’s final game who was not David Wright
This includes the Marlins. This game broke me. I don’t know if I can ever attend a game again. Those extra innings were complete torture. Baseball at it’s worth.
#MetsFansUnited
Finally, we have the gang at #MetsFansUnited. Sometimes they boycott, sometimes they go dark for two months when the team plays well. Angrier than those of you that don’t get that I’m just killing time at work think I am these guys had more leaders one week than Spinal Tap had drummers. It all culminated in the Bags Over Head protest….well……Happy Thanksgiving #MetsFansUnited.
