WASHINGTON — Add it to the all-time “That’s so #Mets” files. Of course, hours after sticking with their roller-coaster starting rotation at the non-waivers trade deadline, the Mets suffered the worst loss of their franchise history Tuesday night, 25-4 to the Nationals at Nationals Park, with Jose Reyes’ pitching debut — six runs allowed in one inning! — capping an epically inept performance
This one won’t be forgotten, ever; Mickey Callaway properly called it “embarrassing.” Actually, the Mets should hope that this game, and not what preceded it, will be recalled as the day’s most embarrassing development.
