Day 1,158, Quasi-Quarantine: Trying To Find The Metsiest Low Point Possible


If you were seeking to sum up New York's season to date, you could do a lot worse than this paragraph:

"The Mets submitted their version of an Aristocrats joke in a 10-3 loss to the Nationals in Monday’s series finale. They had a runner picked off first with the bases loaded. They miscommunicated in the outfield to turn a fly ball into a triple. They were fooled by a Little League first-and-third stolen base. Their pitching staff mustered one zero in eight tries all day. They’ve now gone 52 offensive innings without a home run."

A round of pony kegs for Tim Britton, who is among the beat writers forced to watch this epic disaster unfold on a daily basis. The point where all of this could be blamed on a litany of injuries has past, unfortunately; when Buck Showalter is out of answers, you know you're in trouble.
