The Mets are off to a horrid start in their first playoff appearance since 2016.
In Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series against the Padres Friday night, fans were left stunned. Starting pitcher Max Scherzer allowed seven hits and seven earned runs (including four home runs) across 4.2 innings before being booed off the diamond. The Mets lost the game 7-1.
In the best-of-three series, the Amazins are one defeat away from seeing their 101 regular-season victories go to waste.
And WFAN Sports Radio host Joe Benigno, one of the more outspoken Mets fans in the Big Apple, isn’t holding back.
