If there’s one universal certainty in life, it’s that nothing will stop the New York Mets from being a source of disappointment. They don’t even need actual baseball being played to find a way to deliver a devastating blow to their season.
Just look at what happened on Tuesday.
The Mets announced that pitcher Noah Syndergaard suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow, which will require Tommy John Surgery. Syndergaard had been dealing with elbow issues earlier in the spring, and an MRI revealed that worst-case scenario for the Mets star.
Syndergaard will be out until at least April of 2021.
Obviously, this is a huge loss for the Mets. They hoped to be contenders in a stacked NL East whenever the MLB season resumed. But really, this was the latest lesson against believing in the Mets. MLB fans realized that once again.
I’m sorry, Mets.
