The New York Mets just can’t seem to consistently start winning games. After they defeated the Braves 10-2 on Tuesday night, they ultimately fell to the same ballclub 7-2 the following night. Now, the Mets are 35-39 and have fallen to fourth place in the NL East division, sitting at 8.5 games behind first place.
Now sitting at that spot in the standings, Mets manager Mickey Callaway is telling it like it is. “It’s not fun” were Callaway’s words to the media following Wednesday night’s loss.
With a loss tonight and a Nationals win, the Mets dropped below Washington in the NL East standings.
