Austin Adams Is An Asshole For Mocking The Mets "OMG" Celebration, But They Can't Say Shit If He Shuts Them Down Like He Did Last Night

NY Post - Austin Adams decided to have a little fun Tuesday night at the expense of the Mets, whom he pitched for in spring training before being sold to the A’s before Opening Day. 

Called out of the bullpen with two on and none out in the fifth inning after the Mets had already cut a six-run deficit in half, Adams struck out Jeff McNeil, got Jose Iglesias to foul out and fanned Francisco Alvarez to get out of the jam. 

Adams then screamed to the sky and mimicked the Mets’ “OMG” celebration, which drew loud boos from the Citi Field crowd. 

“Honestly, I looked up and was so surprised I got out of it. I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ And then it dawned on me, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh,’” he said after the A’s 9-4 win. “So then I did it. I mean, that song is sick. Iglesias is a good dude. So, hopefully no one is offended. Just having fun.” 

Regardless, Edwin Diaz didn’t take to it too kindly. 

The Mets closer said he has seen Adams do similar celebrations to other teams before and that doesn’t bother him, but the personal attack on “OMG” hit home. 

“He crossed a line because that’s something we do when we hit a homer or something,” Diaz told The Post. 

“He [can] do it always, that’s fine. But, he can’t get mad if we do something to him the next couple of days.”

I watched this game last night. Austin Adams is a certified asshole, but that's not why I'm writing this. But let's first talk about Austin Adams behavior. He acted like a jerkoff last night. Certified J-O. He was everything that defines "Look at me" and attention seeking that drives me crazy. But again this isn't about him. He had an axe to grind after being released by The Mets and he came and backed it up. He shut us down when it mattered, so technically he has the right to celebrate even if it is over the top and looks like an asshole doing it. 

The issue I have is with the Mets. If the Mets are offended by this, there's a very simple way to fix it..... SCORE SOME FUCKING RUNS OFF THE GUY.  The Mets can't sit there and cry while they are wasting prime opportunities with runners in scoring position and losing games they MUST HAVE in a wild card race. Shit if the Mets were even 6-4 instead of 4-6 we would have been sniffing the division given the Phillies keep cooling off, but we can't even catch the Braves. It's been an absolute disaster few weeks, the bats are gone and we're crying about a guy celebrating. FIGURE IT THE FUCK OUT, STOP WHINING AND GO BEAT THE FUCKING A'S AND CATCH THE BRAVES!
