PITTSBURGH — The Mets have suffered a lot of comically bad losses throughout franchise history. They’ve been handed ugly losses and heartbreaking losses. They’ve also fielded blatantly bad teams that played blatantly bad baseball.
But even those teams never did what the 2023 Mets did this week in Atlanta when they had leads of at least three or more runs three nights in a row, only to blow them and lose each night.
This was the first time in franchise history the Mets have accomplished that feat, and to make matters worse, it resulted in a sweep by the Braves, who are spending much less.
