The Mets had a rough go at it last week, finishing just 1-5 against the Yankees, Cubs and Phillies. But the characters at SNY kept it entertaining.

I'm pretty sure tank top fan was the guy heckling Justin Turner all game with the very audible "You suck, you ginger!" taunt. Nothing like a dozen beers at Wrigley during a Cubbies loss in pouring rain:

We learned that Jason Bay prefers the bowl haircut and would be a weatherman if he didn't play baseball:

To that we say -- follow your dreams Jason! It's never too late. There's a Sam Champion resemblance there.
