When your favorite team becomes a meme factory, you know things have gone terribly wrong. Greg Wyshynski, ESPN’s Senior NHL Writer, perfectly captured what every Mets fan feels right now with a single, devastating image that says “everything sucks.” And honestly? Given what the Mets have put their fans through lately, he’s not wrong.
Why Does Greg Wyshynski Care So Much About Baseball?
Wyshynski might be best known for creating Yahoo! Sports’ ice hockey blog Puck Daddy and his work as a member of the Professional Hockey Writers Association, but the New Jersey native’s pain runs deeper than hockey analysis.
According to his website, the ESPN writer, who has appeared as an analyst on Sportsnet, NBC Sports Network, CSN Washington, and CSN New England, currently calls New York City home. That means he’s likely a regular at Citi Field, watching this disaster unfold in person.
The New York Mets are currently 64-58 overall, which sounds respectable until you realize they’ve gone 1-9 in their last 10 games.
Fans across social media have been begging the team to put up literally any kind of win, and Wyshynski has announced himself as part of that tortured fanbase. More than that, he’s taken to social media declaring how his MLB team’s current losing streak is genuinely affecting his daily life.

Given his connection to the team, Wyshynski’s meme saying “everything sucks” in relation to the Mets makes complete sense. This isn’t just casual fandom; this is the kind of emotional investment that turns grown adults into walking disaster zones when their team implodes.
How Bad Has This Mets Collapse Actually Been?
The Mets are in an incredibly bad slump that goes beyond normal baseball struggles. They’ve lost 14 of their last 16 games, including a brutal 11-9 bullpen collapse against the Seattle Mariners that perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with this team right now.
They’re consistently building leads from their offensive production, only to watch their relief pitching give it all away.
The bullpen has become a horror show. Relievers like Ryan Helsley, Tyler Rogers, Brooks Raley, and Frankie Montas have consistently underdelivered in high-leverage situations, allowing timely runs that demolish previously established leads. It’s the kind of systematic failure that makes fans question everything about the organization.
The numbers tell an even uglier story. The Mets have been 19-33 since June 12, a pace that mirrors a 103-loss season. Let that sink in: this team has played like one of the worst clubs in baseball for over two months straight.
Since starting 45-24, the New York Mets are 19-34. The only team with a worse record in that timespan is Washington at 19-35.

Perhaps most crushing of all, the Mets have blown 11 leads across their last seven games. These weren’t just one-run advantages either; they’ve surrendered leads as large as five runs or more.
This marks only the second time in nearly two decades that the Mets have blown a lead in seven consecutive games, making history in exactly the wrong way while further demolishing whatever confidence their fanbase had left.

For Wyshynski and other suffering Mets fans, the only hope is that this nightmare ends soon. At least the NHL 2025-26 season starts in October, giving him something else to focus on professionally. But until then, everything really does suck when you’re a Mets fan.
