3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Swept By Red Sox To End Woeful First Half

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.

But what is clear is that these Mets aren’t anywhere close to being good...

3 Up, 3 Down: Lifeless Offense Dooms Mets In Toronto

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.

3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Lose Momentum Against Miami

The 2025 season is proving to be a frustrating rollercoaster ride for the New York Mets. Days after sweeping the Phillies in dominating fashion, the Mets dropped three of four to the lowly Marlins. Consequently, all the momentum and all the hope disappeared just as quickly as it had returned. Not only is losing a series to a team under .500 this late in the season concerning, but New York also...
