Jorge López cut by Mets after throwing temper tantrum — and glove — against Dodgers

Mets relief pitcher Jorge López threw a temper tantrum during a blowout loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.

He also threw his glove — way up and over the protective netting behind the Mets dugout and into the stands at Citi Field after being ejected from the game.

And López threw in a couple of f-bombs during a postgame interview that will likely end up being his last official act as a member of the Mets, who designated the right-hander for assignment on Thursday.
