What an embarrassing performance Mets are collapsing and falling fast - New York Mets fans devastated by loss to Chicago Cubs

By Nathan Borkowski Modified 13 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share The Chicago Cubs defeated the New York Mets The New York Mets lost 5-2 to the Chicago Cubs in a game they would have loved to win. With the divisional race between the Mets and Atlanta Braves razor thin, every game matters. Especially in these games against opponents that are under .500. Winning games that they should easily win could be the difference between leading the division and being a Wild Card team. Chris Bassitt had an uncharacteristically bad start for the Mets, putting the team in an early deficit. The Mets offense failed to make up the five-run deficit they found themselves in. The Mets had multiple opportunities to score runs, but left their runners stranded in scoring position. All these factors combined to make it one of the most frustrating losses of the season. EKOMS@ranked27@Mets What an embarrassing performance. Bassit didn’t have it so that’s whatever but this offense looked horrible. Hope they win the series but this offense needs to do better… Darin ruf should never see another game.1@Mets What an embarrassing performance. Bassit didn’t have it so that’s whatever but this offense looked horrible. Hope they win the series but this offense needs to do better… Darin ruf should never see another game. The Chicago Cubs should be commended for this win, as they did not back down against the vaunted Mets. steven@Awesomegamer092@Mets This is why being a Mets fan is one of the hardest things I have done@Mets This is why being a Mets fan is one of the hardest things I have done Confidence is at a low that it has not been at in a long time for the New York Mets fan base. Losing to a team like the Cubs while in a crucial division race is almost unacceptable. If the Atlanta Braves manage to catch the Mets in the standings, this loss will be a big part of why.

New York Mets need to win this series against the Chicago Cubs

Chicago Cubs v New York Mets The Mets are bonefide World Series contenders. The Cubs currently sit 23 games under .500. Losing the series to the Cubs cannot happen for a team that needs every win it can get. If they lose the series, the Braves could overtake them in the NL East sooner than either team expected. The Cubs will not make it easy for them over the next two games, and are capable of pulling off the win as this game shows.
