About as cold as the numbers can push it. A loss by 6 last night and the vibes reflect it. Making it worse, 0-7 lately. There's no sugarcoating it.

Mets News

The New York Mets are officially in freefall, dropping their eighth consecutive game after a 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, with star pitcher Shohei Ohtani striking out ten and continuing his remarkable 0.00 ERA streak. The Mets' offense has gone cold, averaging a staggering 1.4 runs per game over the past week, and they've managed to score just one run in their last three games. The atmosphere in the clubhouse is tense, as veterans search for answers to a mounting frustration, highlighted by their current 7-11 record and a grim run differential of -26. With their struggling lineup now facing the same Dodgers again, the Mets must find a spark or risk sinking deeper into rock bottom.
