PHOENIX — The wasted opportunities for the Mets this season have become almost too great to count, with Operation Desert Swoon near the top of the list.
Simply, the Diamondbacks are a disaster. But what does it say about the Mets that they lost five of six games this season against those same D’backs and are now clinging for life in the NL wild-card race?
Wednesday night’s 13-5 loss at Chase Field had a little bit of everything that has been wrong with the Mets lately, starting with a dreadful offensive attack. Don’t be fooled by the five runs — three came in the ninth inning during garbage time.
