The Mets are now 76-73 on the season and technically even with the San Francisco Giants (75-72) for the final NL Wild Card berth, though, because the Giants have two games in hand, the Mets don't control their own destiny for a postseason berth.
The reaction from the team's fans was somewhere between despair and utter disdain after Saturday's loss:
On June 12, the Mets were an MLB-best 45-24 and 5.5 games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East. The division is long gone now—Philly has a 12.5-game lead, bolstered by last week's four-game sweep of the Mets.
And now the playoffs may be slipping away as well. The Amazins are looking a lot more like the Abysmals these days.
