## Resource

The Mets are in freefall, sitting at 40-57 heading into the All-Star break—their worst first half in 31 years. Despite rookie Zach Thornton’s strong seven-inning shutout, the offense couldn’t deliver, and injuries to Lindor, Alvarez, and Polanco have compounded the chaos. Pitching woes, a struggling bullpen, and a clubhouse heavy with frustration paint a grim picture as they face a brutal second-half schedule. Lindor himself called the situation “unacceptable,” and with playoff contenders looming, the Mets must rally—or risk fading into oblivion.
