If you’re a Mets fan, you’re likely, and justifiably, convinced that your team is about to give you every incentive to march on Flushing Meadows with a pitchfork and a flaming torch.

Here, then, in the strict interest of preparing you for what you may well be hearing two weeks from now, are 10 excuses the Mets will be able to offer should they — again! — end up out of the money.
