As if his live-action rant wasn’t enough, Mike Francesa wanted to make extra sure everyone knew.

“Yes, the Mets annoyed me this afternoon,” the WFAN host tweeted.

It’s no wonder why: Todd Frazier’s homer in the top of the ninth gave the Mets a 2-1 lead over the Phillies in Philadelphia, while Amed Rosario’s ground-out scored Dominic Smith for a two-run cushion.

And then, the Mets went full Mets: Edwin Diaz gave up a two-run homer to Maikel Franco that knotted the score and then gave up a three-run walk-off shot to Jean Segura to give the Phillies a 6-3 win, completing Philadelphia’s four-game sweep.

Luckily, Mike Francesa was not only watching, but his heated reaction was live-streamed for all to enjoy.

“Unbelievable,” he said. “So this guy comes in and gives up five runs.”

Off to a pretty good start, Francesa only begun, taking off his glasses to drive his point home even further.

“That sums it up. Fire all of ’em. Don’t even bring ’em back to New York. Let the bus go the other way, please,” he said. “Tomorrow night, let the ’69 Mets take the field, they’d do a better job against the Braves. This is unbelievable. Frazier hits one of the biggest home runs you could hit in your life, kept the Mets alive. 2-1 Mets. they added an insurance run, 3-1 Mets.

“Go to the bottom of the ninth. They traded to get this kid, the great reliever. They bring Diaz in here, all he’s gotta do is get a rocking chair save against the bottom of the lineup! Walks the first batter, gives up a homer to the eight hitter!

“And then gives up a three-run jack to Segura on his 38th pitch or whatever the heck it was. He’s done, he’s shot, bullpens shot, team’s shot, manager’s shot, the pitching strategist — who the hell knows what he does in the first place? You know what? Let the Mets take the bus, instead of coming North on the turnpike, send it south, let the ’69 Mets suit up tomorrow night. I can’t even believe it. You can’t lose this game. They stink so bad, you can’t even make it up. 37 and 45. Diaz goes out and he gives up two homers and five runs, after Frazier hits the clutch home run of the year to keep this team breathing.

“You gotta be kidding me. Get rid of all of em. They’re a bunch of jokers.”

Regaining his composure after the epic two-minute soliloquy, Francesa seemed to realize he maybe went a bit too far and offered some kinder words to players like Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil and Jacob deGrom.

“Alonso, I apologize. McNeil, I apologize. DeGrom, maybe I apologize. The rest of you … you stink. Back after this.”
