(via ABCnews) Furry Convention keeps Mets awake.

PITTSUBURGH — Playing an afternoon game, the Mets might be a little tired because of The Furries.

The Mets, who played in Pittsburgh for a weather make-up game on Thursday, stayed at the same hotel as the Furries Convention.

Lots of Mets players were Tweeting that they could not get any sleep due to people dressed as furry animals running around the hotel.

Anthrocon Chairman Dr. Samuel Conway said many of the thousands of people attending the conference will dress as their favorite characters.

“We expect 500 and 600 of them this year and they”ll be wandering about. If you see a large raccoon on the streets of Pittsburgh don’t be alarmed, it’s just us,” Conway said.
