Talk about an apt ending to the first half of the 2026 season for the New York Mets. The Mets got swept by the Red Sox and invented new ways to lose in all three games.

One team endured a brutal 24-hour travel experience and arrived at the ballpark just two hours before the scheduled first pitch. The other slept in the comfort of their own beds the night before. You’d probably think the latter squad would have the clear advantage…until I told you that team was the 2026 New York Mets.
