The Mets’ losing streak goes to eleven

Carson Kelly gives Mets 10th straight loss

I mean, what can you even say? Ten straight losses in ten straight losses, which is bad, no good, terrible, pick whichever word or phrase from the thesaurus you would like. The bats have looked better the past two days, with the Mets netting 14 hits yesterday and seven today, but no one diehard enough […]

Seng in the clowns

Going into the Mets’ matinee with the Cubs, things were bleak. The Mets lost eight straight, the bats were dead, and the starting pitching has been inconsistent. Well, things got worse, and the Mets dropped their ninth straight, losing to the Cubs 12-4. The Mets managed to make fairly good contact off of Cubs starter […]

Jorge Polanco, already dealing with left Achilles bursitis that has hindered him since the start of the season, is now battling a second injury. His right wrist started bothering him after Tuesday’s loss to the Dodgers, and the issue was bad enough to keep him out of the lineup Friday in Chicago as the Mets […]
