Raccoon breaks into Mets weight room before Dodgers game

Could the Mets be any more exciting than right now?

Not only did they absolutely thrash the Dodgers 15-2 Saturday night, showering bombs and spraying base hits all over the outfield grass, but then, they were greeted by a small raccoon in the weight room the next morning.

How the raccoon managed to find it's way into the weight room, no one knows.

But, fear not. The Mets handled it with care, deploying an exterminator to take the mischievous animal and release it into the "wild"--as put by the Mets media relations personnel--of Queens.

Could this be an omen for the Amazins'?
