Mets are kind of a punchline in the same sense as the Toronto Blue Jays. Here's a Blue Jays example:
Ah, the birds of spring:
The swallow-- Tweet, tweet...
The robin-- Tweet, tweet...
The Blue Jay-- Hack, hack, choke, hack!

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

When they won the World Series, yes. But any other time, the Jays are a laughingstock.

It's only a decade to a decade and a half old, isn't it? That's some pretty shoddy construction work.

Except everybody here who is in their right mind is rooting for the Cubs. We've all known Shimmy is not in his right mind. I guess Warbler falls in there, too.
