Mets Extend Olive Branch To Fans By Limiting Their Ability To Watch The Mets
The Mets are a revolving door of controversy and incompetence, as the most recent New York team to win a pennant(!) has spent the past month (or two, or three...) plagued by internal anger, poor play, and a tendency to kill off ex-players before they actually die.
