NEW YORK (Reuters) - Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Chase Utley may not be the only 'villain' New York Mets fans love to hate. But right now, he’s certainly the biggest.

Utley launched himself into the conversation on the team's darkest enemy after he barrel-rolled into shortstop Ruben Tejada while trying to break up a double play in Game Two on Saturday in their National League Division Series.

Not only did the Mets come out on the short end of the game 5-2, they lost Tejada for the rest of the postseason after he broke his leg on the play.
