The Mets have become an easy mark on social media these days as their dreadful 2026 season continues.
The Rockies became the latest team to take jabs at the Mets after they swept them in a doubleheader on Sunday in a series of posts on X, which included calling themselves the “Kings of Queens” and using their mascot Dinger to troll the Metropolitans.
The biggest jab came in a post to the X account of the famed Manhattan icon, the Empire State Building.
“Hey @EmpireStateBldg , just an idea…,” the team wrote in a post that included a photo of the New York City landmark lit up in Rockies purple.
In a separate post, they captioned a graphic after their 3-0 win in the second game against the Mets, “Sweep State of Mind” in a play on words of “New York State of Mind.”
The Rockies defeated the Mets in the first game of the day, 3-1, before shutting them out in the second game to complete the sweep.
Colorado also defeated the Mets on Friday night in a 4-3 win that quickly ended the good times in Queens after the Mets had snapped a 12-game losing streak with back-to-back wins over the Twins.
Minnesota had also used social media to poke fun at the struggling Mets earlier in the week, as did MLS club Charlotte FC after they defeated New York City FC, which uses Citi Field as a part-time home, earlier this month.
The Mets managed a mere one run over 18 innings of baseball on Sunday as questions around manager Carlos Mendoza’s job security continued to swirl as his ballclub’s season spiraled out of control.
The Mets have Monday off before they begin a three-game set with the Nationals at Citi Field, looking to find any sort of positive momentum they can find while the team sits 10.5 games back of the top spot in the National League East.
