What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
The Mets social media used to be on point, but in 2025 I am finding it to be really really stupid.
The Mrs. Met account has started tweeting inane things, as if its being run by and targeted at 7 year olds with their first phone.
What’s even the point of this crap? At least the stuff of the main account is monetized.
Pete Alonso loves the Mets. Always wanted to be a Met and isn’t going to opt -out this off-season.

I was planning on writing about this anyway on Wednesday – but then Steve tweeted so I pushed it back a day – but much thanks to Howie Rose for illustrating the point.
Almost daily, the Mets will tweet something like this:
….faceless guys you’ve never heard of replacing faceless guys you’ve never heard of.
When I got into baseball, the Mets may have sucked, but at least it was a consistent group of guys who sucked together. Now it’s Vulgar Pete, a guy who disrespected Mets fans, and random reliever of the day.
Howie Rose must have noticed something similar because he tweeted:
36 different pitchers? What are we even doing? Why would I watch this? I know the old joke about rooting for the laundry, but you can’t even do that now because Steve and Alex messed that up with all the uniform variants.
This sport is a bad product. It’s probably unfixable now unless someone wants to make draconian rule changes (like if you pitch you have to stay on the roster for x days). The nerds came in and exploited all the flaws (much like what is happening in politics right now) and broke the system.
Hey you know that famous politician? The one that takes credit for everything and never takes any blame? Based on his X account, Steve is reminding me of that kind of guy. The guy who disappears for weeks at a time when the team isn’t doing well, suddenly has a working phone to check in with us.
It would be just as easy to do this after every game, or most games, or during a losing streak.
And who are these Fab Four, and we’re not calling them that. If it includes Vulgar Pete and the guy who disrespected Mets fans…no thanks Steve. I’ve waited 40 years, I can easily wait those guys out.
Check in all the time or not at all. Don’t just show up the one time things go right. That’s not leadership.
PETE ALONSO & EDWIN DĺAZ JOIN FRANCISCO LINDOR ON NL ALL-STAR TEAM
FLUSHING, N.Y., July 6, 2025 – Major Leage Baseball today announced that first baseman Vulgar Pete Alonso and RHP Edwin Díaz will join starting shortstop Francisco Lindor (best known for giving a thumbs down to Mets fans, never forget, never forgive) on the National League All-Star team. The 95thAll-Star Game will take place on Tuesday, July 15 in Atlanta.
Vulgar Pete was named to the All-Star team for the fifth time in his career, the most by any first baseman in team history – two more than Keith Hernandez which is a really weird thing for the Mets to brag about in their press release.
Alonso becomes the sixth player in franchise history to be named to five or more All-Star teams, joining Tom Seaver (nine), David Wright (seven), Mike Piazza (seven), Darryl Strawberry (seven) and Carlos Beltrán (five).
Díaz was named to an All-Star team for the third time in his career and second as a member of the Mets (also in 2022). He was an American League All-Star in 2018 with Seattle.
Lindor was announced as the National League starting shortstop on July 2. Lindor will make his first trip to the Midsummer Classic as a member of the Mets and his fifth overall after making four straight American League All-Star teams with Cleveland from 2016-19. He was a jerk to the fans.
Lindor will become the third Mets shortstop to start for the National League, joining Buddy Harrelson (1971) and José Reyes (2007). Reyes was named a starter in 2011, but was injured and didn’t start.
