SAN DIEGO — The New York Mets took multiple “L’s” on Sunday night as not only did the team drop the deciding Game 3 against the Padres, but the team also played their closer’s entrance music down by 4 in the 8th inning.

Edwin Diaz, the closer for the Mets uses the song 'Narcos' by Blasterjaxx and Timmy Trumpet as his entrance music. Usually the home team plays the entrance music when the pitcher is coming in with a lead to shut the door on an opponents comeback attempt. On Sunday, the Mets decided to go through with the routine even though their season was on the verge of being over.

Saddest trumpets you will hear. Talk about bad timing to do the trumpet thing @Mets. Just sad. 🎺

As you can imagine, social media did not hold back.

Trumpets lose a little luster when you’re about to be eliminated and the Padre fans are gleefully dancing to the song. I mean you gotta be absolutely brain dead to play that song right now. #mets

Now that I’ve had an hour to think about it, playing the trumpet song while Diaz walked into a funeral might be the funniest Mets thing ever

Diaz allowed a two-run single to Juan Soto which extended the Padres lead to 6-0.

The Padres will take on the Dodgers in a best of five series beginning on Tuesday.
