Phillies Twitter Explodes After Mets' NLCS Loss

This is how the healing begins.

After a Phillies season ends in disappointment, as almost all of them do, most of us want nothing to do with the team for a while. Come spring training, we'll be back on the roller coaster. But there's a process that needs to unfold first. Step one was seeing the division-rival Mets get bounced from the postseason. 

The Dodgers sent the Mets home on Sunday night, and Phillies twitter was ready:

The New York Mets have been eliminated from the Postseason!

Mets with the highest payroll in baseball being treated like they’re scrappy underdogs… like their season wasn’t LITERALLY World Series or bust! 😂

Let’s be honest, the Mets season was a DISAPPOINTMENT!

They have NOTHING to be proud of!

Let’s all laugh at the Mets! 😂🫵 pic.twitter.com/WskwJSuczV

I say this as a Phillies fan, I pray the Mets hang an NLDS banner. There may not be a greater “rent free” moment in sports if that happens. https://t.co/W5E15ud3C7

Even the brand accounts had some fun:

Good stuff.

Does any of this put the Phillies in the World Series or absolve their failure? Of course not. But a Mets championship would have been salt in Philadelphia's wound, and we've at least avoided that.
