The Giants are trying not to fall into the worst record in baseball. The Mets are a mess of medical mishaps and just lost four games in Los Angeles while allowing 15 home runs.
Did these teams really play in the National League Wild Card Game in October?
If there was any question which has taken the bigger tumble, the answer arrived swiftly and emphatically Friday night when the Mets crushed Ty Blach in an 11-4 New York victory.
The Giants, "fresh" off a 1-7 trip that ended early Friday morning in Atlanta, lost for the 10th time in their past 11 games.
