If you hadn’t heard, the New York Mets are having a pretty horrible season after being tipped as 2023 World Series favorites in the spring.
Mets fans got a bit of a reprieve from the disappointing year with the 2023 MLB All-Star Game, but a photo posted by none other than Mr. Met the mascot got New York fans back in their feelings.
The photo was as innocuous as they come, as Mr. Met — in a clearly altered photo — posed with a few members of the Oppenheimer cast (and John Krasinski) ahead of that film’s premiere next week.
However, MLB fans quickly took to the image to make jokes about the Mets being nuclearly bad.

If you are a Mets fan, this post will be as radioactive as they come. If you are not a Mets fan, brace yourself for some absolutely atomic laughter.
Mr. Met might want to find the Barbie cast next for a photo to make up for the responses to this unfortunately hilarious meet-and-greet.
