It was a long night’s journey into day. Really long.
The Mets lost a 5-2 heartbreaker to the Dodgers last Oct. 10, in Game 2 of the National League Division Series at Dodger Stadium. Their shortstop, Ruben Tejada, broke his right fibula when longtime Mets-killer Chase Utley slid hard into him at second base, infuriating Mets players, staff and front-office members on site.
Nevertheless, after what had to feel like an excruciating cross-country, red-eye flight home, the game’s losing pitcher, Noah Syndergaard, didn’t go straight to bed for the off day.
He went straight to his neighborhood Juice Press.
