The Rockies Just Trolled the Mets and the Empire State Building, and New York Can't Even Be Mad

The Colorado Rockies just finished off one of the most dominant road sweeps of the season, and they're not letting New York forget it. After shutting out the Mets 3-0 in the nightcap at Citi Field on Sunday, Colorado completed their first sweep of the Mets since 2018, and yes, they immediately went online to troll one of baseball's biggest markets.

The Rockies suggested lighting up the Empire State Building in Colorado's purple team colors to celebrate the sweep. It's the kind of petty, confident move that only a team playing this well can pull off. And honestly? It stings more because the Mets have been absolutely brutal lately.

The Mets' Collapse Is Real and Getting Worse

This loss was the Mets' 15th in their last 17 games. That's not a bad stretch. That's a complete meltdown. Even worse, the sweep marks the fourth time this season the Mets have been swept, more than any other team in baseball. The other three came courtesy of the Dodgers, Cubs, and Athletics. At this point, getting swept feels less like a fluke and more like a pattern.

Rockies' Starting Pitcher Chase Dollander Was Absolutely Dominant

Here's what made Sunday's game so lopsided: Dollander went seven innings and gave up just five hits. That's the kind of outing that puts a team away early and keeps them there. Hunter Goodman drove in two runs with a homer in the third inning, and Troy Johnston added another in the first. Three runs were plenty with that kind of pitching on display.

The Rockies are playing baseball the right way right now, and the Mets? They're spiraling hard. Colorado's confidence is justified, the Empire State Building joke lands perfectly, and New York knows exactly what happened to them this weekend.
