Mets fans have had little to celebrate since the team's last NL pennant in 2000. After Tuesday, that's the way it should remain.
They don't deserve to be happy.
Yoenis Cespedes Leads Arms Race Among Outfielders
Yoenis Cespedes -- a free agent in the offseason -- struggled at the plate in New York's 6-2 loss to the Braves. He struck out twice en route to an 0-for-3 night. He's now 4-for-his-last-27 with nine strikeouts, per the New York Post, but it was his lack of effort in the fourth inning that struck a nerve with the fans.
After failing to run to first on a wild pitch, those in attendance at Citi Field voiced their displeasure, booing the man who gave their baseball lives meaning again.

Gotta hustle glad they booed Cespedes.

How fickle, and how soon they forget.
Where were the Mets before Cespedes arrived? It surely wasn't the top of the NL East. No one had grandiose thoughts of a playoff push.
The same, mundane, hapless existence was inevitable before Cespedes got around to belting 17 HRs and 42 RBI, pushing the Mets past the Nationals in the NL East.
Mets fans booed Cespedes last night bc he didn't run when struck out as ball got past Atl catcher Guy has put mets in first place! #DUMMIES

New York clinched its first playoff appearance since 2006, and all of a sudden the Mets faithful have standards?
You boo the man who's 4-for-his-last-27 when you don't make the playoffs for nine years. You don't boo the man who's responsible for changing that.
