Mets Losing Streak Hits 11 Games as Fans Grow Angry

 The 2026 New York Mets are an abject disaster and it is only April 20. 

We are 22-games into the season, and the Mets are tied with the Kansas City Royals for the worst record in all of baseball at 7-15. That's right the team with the highest payroll in baseball of $381 millions, $30.25 million of which is due to players no longer on the roster, is dead last in the National League East, and dead last in the National League. 

And they play and look like dead team walking. 

And we got 140 games still to go.  

You can blame manager Carlos Mendoza all you want, but the facts remain that all the blame shouldn't be shouldered by one man. In fact, President of Baseball Operations David Stearns, and owner Steve Cohen should shoulder plenty of responsibility as well. 

Those two men built this mess of a team. They allowed former stars like Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo, Edwin Diaz, and Jeff McNeil either leave via free agency, or pushed them out via trade. Stearns is the one who acquired aging infielder Marcus Semien, traded prospects for a five-inning pitcher in Freddy Peralta, signed oft-injured infielder Jorge Polanco to replace Alonso of all people, and threw prospects and money at the White Sox for inconsistent out fielder Luis Robert Jr. 

He is also the one that splurged $42 million for this year at Bo Bichette in order to keep him from going to the Phillies. Big Whoop! 

The Mets are not a team, but a group of mercenaries who don't deserve to have anyone in the stands at Citi Field to watch this filth of a baseball team. 


 

Take the Worst Team Money Could Buy (AKA the 1993 Mets) and merge them with the 2002 Mets who kicked aside a number of reliable veterans who helped the franchise get to the 2000 World Series, in order to have sluggers Roberto Alomar, Mo Vaughn and Jeremy Burtnitz in the lineup, and you'd have the equivalent of the 2026 Mets. A total train-wreck. 

And the sad part is darker days are coming. 

Mendoza is going to be the fall guy. Whether it is tomorrow, this weekend, next week, or next month, eventually Cohen and Stearns will let him take the bullets to save their own hides. 

They'll likely replace him internally with someone like Kai Correa, who came over this off-season to be the bench coach at the ripe age of 37.  And unless you believe in miracles, things won't change much as the Mets stumble through the summer to a 85-90 loss season. 

Playoffs? Forget about it. This is about survival right now.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

 RAVENS 24 - JETS 9  In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster.  A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most.  If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards.  Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament.  The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself.  George Fa...
