3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Swept By Cubs As Woes Continue

The New York Mets are making headlines for all the wrong reasons. After being swept by the Cubs in Chicago, the Mets have now lost 11 consecutive games and are 7-15 on the season. That’s tied for the worst record in all of baseball. Furthermore, the Mets rank last in a number of statistical categories, including the most important one: runs. They also look incompetent in almost every...

3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Drop Series To St. Louis

Zero offense and sloppy baseball ultimately doomed the New York Mets in St. Louis. The Mets dropped their first series of the year after losing two out of three to the rebuilding Cardinals.

And it is something the Mets will have to try and fix on the fly in a...

Luis Robert Jr’s Walk-Off Homer in Extras Lifts Mets over Pirates

For most of a cold afternoon at Citi Field, the 2025 version of the New York Mets made a return. The offense left a ton of runners in scoring position, and it was a game where both New York and the Pittsburgh Pirates spent the day leaving runners on base. However, new Met Luis Robert Jr. hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to win it and send a freezing crowd home happy, as...
