Top Mets #TearsForMyTeam Replies

In an incredible stroke of idiocy the Mets social media team tweeted out this gem late this afternoon:

#Mets fans when was your moment RT @espn When was the last time you shed tears of joy for your team. Reply w/#TearsForMyTeam & we’ll RT some

— New York Mets (@Mets) December 2, 2013

Talk about inviting a beating of epic proportions. It wasn't lost on many either...

Trouble is exactly what followed, too! Here are the ten funniest replies and/or subtweets I could find in response to the Mets complete lack of self-awareness:
