Sunday’s Mets News: June is Here
It is June 1, so the Metropolitans are in a new calendar month. The Mets are 27-27 right now, so the Mets would be 81-81 if you prorate it over the course of the season. This is worse than at the end of April when they were on pace to get 87 wins. They haven’t hit their stride yet, as Willie would say. The good news is that they are coming off of a productive week where they won 4 out of 5 games. Will this hot streak carry over to June? And for how long?
