The Mets are 28-29 and their disposed hitting coach recently claimed the team needs to spend its money more freely, but they have reason to boast. The team set the single-day cheesesteak record when it scarfed down 103 of them during a rain delayed game at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park. Special props to bullpen catcher Eric Langill, who ate 17 cheesesteaks over the three-game series.
