Things have been bad for the New York Mets, and there's no other way to put it. The Mets are hopeful they can get back on track, and there's reason to believe they can do just that if they stay healthy and take care of business on both sides of the ball.

Unfortunately, the Mets have to show us that before we can believe them, and their most recent series against the Colorado Rockies certainly didn't give us any hope that would happen.

The Mets were swept by the worst team in baseball, and along the way, made some brutal franchise history. The Rockies lost 119 games a season ago, and the Mets had never been swept at home by a team that had lost that many games the year prior.

“The Mets were swept at home by a Rockies team that had lost 119 games the previous season. The Mets had never before been swept at home by a team that had lost that many games the year prior, though that’s in part because they had only ever had two prior tries. (They swept the 2004 Detroit Tigers and took two of three from the 2025 Chicago White Sox,)” Tim Britton of The Athletic wrote.

This is an interesting stat, and one, as Britton touched on, that isn't necessarily too fair to bring up because of the lack of chances the Mets have had to deal with this.

However, it's also important to note that the Rockies have been a lot better throughout this season, so losing to them isn't necessarily the worst thing. On the flip side, getting swept at Citi Field against Colorado was just inexcusable for this organization right now.
