New York Mets Call On Voltron

Something has to work, right?
According to a number of reports out of the New York area, the choking ailing Mets have turned drastic measures in order to save whatever post season life they have left. The Onion has much more:
Facing the Cubs in the midst of a three-game losing streak, the desperate Mets sprinted out to the field Tuesday, launched themselves high into the air above Shea Stadium, and combined their bodies to form a 400-foot tall fielding robot called Carlos Voltron…
“After losing eight of our last 12 games, forming Carlos Voltron is our only hope to save our playoff chances,” Manuel said. “We really need power this late in the season, and the 2.5 million pounds of thrust in Voltron’s solid-fuel boosters should give us the lift we need.”
This begs the question: What happens if the Milwaukee Brewers turn into Megatron or the Phillies become Optimus Prime? Could the National League handle that much robot warfare?
