Devin Gordon, author of “So Many Ways to Lose: The Amazin’ True Story of the New York Mets — the Best Worst Team in Sports,” reflects on the struggles of the New York Mets during the 2026 season.
The Mets are continuing their tradition of losing, despite significant investments in free agents and high expectations for playoffs. Though they have one of the most expensive rosters, they remain one of the worst teams as they approach Memorial Day.
As a result, Gordon has received numerous forms of outreach from friends and acquaintances who are aware of his long-suffering dedication to the team. Messages range from consoling texts and memes to teasing, and even inquiries about his mental health.
For individuals supporting Mets fans through the challenges of another disappointing season, Gordon offers advice. Especially for Yankees fans: refrain from contact, as their messages are unwelcome.
With the season likely to be difficult, Gordon encourages friends to support Mets fans by being considerate and understanding during this trying time.
