Unforgivable. Indefensible. Unpardonable.
Really, pick your word.
And, really, pick your time frame with these 2025 Mets. The past three-plus months, as they have been slow-motion giving away a season? Or the past three days, when a terrible Nationals team playing terribly nevertheless won two out of three at Citi Field? Three days when the barest competence by the Mets would have brought them a sweep and a level of wild-card comfort.
Instead, they lost 3-2 to the Nationals on Sunday and lost control of their playoff fate as the Reds (who own the head-to-head tiebreaker) beat the Cubs to deadlock the Mets at 80-76.
