Depressing story of the Mets’ 2017 already may be written

ATLANTA — Only five teams in baseball have a worse record than the 25-33 Mets, and four of them are in the National League.

If these Mets can come back from such a deficit, they will bring new meaning to the term Miracle Mets.

But you have to make miracles happen. The Mets don’t make anything happen, except finding ways to lose.

It’s going to take much more than the return of Yoenis Cespedes on Saturday to make these Mets whole and successful, especially after the 3-2 loss to the Braves on Friday night at Sun Trust Park.
