The Mets had a fireworks show planned for after the game but the fireworks were flying well before the game even started. There is always drama when these two teams get together and this game was no exception.
Storm clouds gathered at the start of the game which should have been a hint of how this night would go. Before a single pitch was thrown sparks were already flying when a report broke that GM Brodie Van Wagenen threw a chair in a team meeting after the previous night’s bullpen meltdown. That was only the start of the drama for the night.
