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

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.

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.Future Phillie Shohei Ohtani@mvpHarper@Mets @RaiseTheApple9 Mets are collapsing and falling fast.. they didn’t lose 1st place because the braves are playing that good, they lost 1st place because they have lost numerous games to the pirates nationals and cubs all within 10 days4@Mets @RaiseTheApple9 Mets are collapsing and falling fast.. they didn’t lose 1st place because the braves are playing that good, they lost 1st place because they have lost numerous games to the pirates nationals and cubs all within 10 daysJuan B@JuanB04958090@Mets Come on guys these are loses your can’t afford now this late in the season.@Mets Come on guys these are loses your can’t afford now this late in the season.Matthew Weiss@Matt_Mets2022@Mets Stop playing like this.
