Read: Carlos Voltron
Over at The Onion, they poke fun at the recent Mets woes with an article humorously titled, “Struggling Mets Combine to Form Carlos Voltron”.
“Facing the Cubs in the midst of a three-game losing streak, the desperate Mets sprinted out to the field Tuesday, launched themselves high into the air above Shea Stadium, and combined their bodies to form a 400-foot tall fielding robot called Carlos Voltron.”
“Meanwhile, defending a comfortable 600-0 lead in the top of ninth, the Mets decided to rest up Carlos Voltron by moving him to the outfield and replacing him with reliever Aaron Heilman, who lost the lead and eventually the game after giving up 618 runs to close the inning.”
The idea of the team forming a cohesive force, presumably led by Carlos Beltran, is especially fitting after last night. Just a little levity during these stressful, yet exciting times.
