The New York Mets are widely considered to be one of the most tortured franchises in sports, and one cab driver who works in the city perfectly summed up what it feels like to be a fan of the team.
On Sunday, Sahadev Sharma hopped in a taxi to head to Citi Field, which is where he worked for the day covering the Chicago Cubs for The Athletic. Not knowing that Sharma was a beat writer and not just a fan, the cab driver snuck in a fantastic shot at the Mets.
My cab driver has asked me multiple times of I really want to go to Citi Field. "There's a lot to do in New York, you really want to watch to the Mets?"

The Mets and their fans are used to this type of stuff by now, but that was pretty funny. It’s also timely given that they had lost 10 of their last 13 games heading into Sunday and have fallen below .500. While people living in The Big Apple have seen worse written about the Mets in subway advertisements, cabbies clearly know the deal.
