Juan Lagares Likely Out The Rest Of The Season With An Injured Toe

I can’t say I’m surprised by this news. Partially because Juan Lagares’ bones and tendons are made of eggshells and partially because he plays for the most cursed franchise in sports. The nickname Juanny Beisol is dead as fuck while the nickname Senor Glass lives forever (on the 60 day DL).

But alas here we are. The Mets just lost their best outfield glove and one of the few guys that can hit for average and run for the season to a fucking toe injury. Welcome back to The Suck, Mets fans! Just a month after everything was all sunshine and rainbows too. A new manager, a fun winning streak, and pretty much everyone healthy. Now Juan Lagares is once again hurt, Matt Harvey is in Cincy, and Yo is on the DL. Oh yeah and Jacob deGrom is taking the mound tonight after laboring through a 45 pitch inning in his first start back. Nothing can possibly go wrong! This is why I say Mets fans should enjoy when the season isn’t devolving into a tire fire before their very eyes. Because if you can’t enjoy the few highs, why stick around for the millions of lows.

I also love how the Mets actually have created this template for Twitter to announce whatever the latest injury or defuse the latest PR nightmare. If you can’t fix the problems at the root of this franchise, at least make the message easy to relay. Gotta chalk that up as progress at least.

Cue the motherfucking gif!
