Tonight, the Mets open a series in Cincinnati against the Red Legs and their mustachioed Mr. Met clone mascot. The Reds quietly own the second-best record in baseball (behind only the Washington Nationals), and lead the NL Central by 5 games over the Pittsburgh Pirates. So, the struggling Mets have their work cut out for them. Maybe it’s time to break out the Underdog t-shirts and hope for the best.
