Cubs Losses Prompt a Shared Blame Game Across Players, Coaching, and Front Office

After a 9-game losing streak that followed back-to-back 10-game win streaks, the piece argues blame for the Cubs’ slide is diffuse: the offense has slumped in May (.203 team average with runners in scoring position), the rotation has cracked, and roster moves like promoting PCA haven’t produced an instant fix. While fans often point to manager Craig Counsell or president Jed Hoyer, the article stresses that steadiness and collective effort are key, and the true verdict will come as the season unfolds with the Cubs still just over .500 and holding playoff odds.

Twins Roast Mets After 12-Game Slide

The New York Mets’ 2026 season hit a new low as the Minnesota Twins handed them a 12th straight loss, the franchise’s longest skid since 2002. A bright note early—Francisco Lindor’s three-run homer and Nolan McLean’s near-perfect start—gave way to a seventh-inning tie and a ninth-inning collapse by Devin Williams. Minnesota’s social-media jab—“Things you can get in a dozen: Eggs, Roses, Mets losses”—caps a stinging roast as the Mets, who entered the year with high expectations, remain stuck in a historically deep slide with no postseason berth in sight under the World Series era rules.

Soto’s Silence During Mets Slide Draws Attention, But Veterans Say It’s Normal

Juan Soto said he hasn’t spoken to Mets teammates during their 12-game losing streak after returning from the injured list, citing travel and time apart. Veteran Mets players told The Athletic that such silence is normal for an injured player who’s out of sight, with leadership occasionally texting but not mandatory. Soto emphasized his focus is on helping end the Mets’ longest skid since 2002, and while his comments drew attention, teammates welcomed his return to the lineup as the team looks to snap the slide.

Mets' 12-game skid deepens as Williams falters in ninth vs. Twins

The Mets dropped their 12th straight game after Devin Williams allowed two ninth-inning runs in a 5-3 loss to the Twins. Francisco Lindor hit a three-run homer early to give New York a 3-0 lead, Nolan McLean pitched well into the seventh, Byron Buxton belted a two-run shot to cut the lead, and Luke Keaschall’s RBI single tied the game at 3-3 in the seventh before Williams exited to boos as the Mets couldn’t muster a comeback and turn to Clay Holmes to try to snap the skid.

Mets’ 12-Game Slide Highlights the Gap Between Big Payroll and On-Field Return

New York’s Mets extended their 12-game losing streak, the longest in MLB this season, underscoring a painful disconnect between a massive payroll and on-field results. Despite moments like Francisco Lindor’s three-run homer and a strong start from Nolan McLean, a brutal ninth-inning meltdown sealed a staggering defeat as the team sits with the worst record in baseball and faces scrutiny over roster-building, leadership, and the pressure on owner Steve Cohen and GM David Stearns to translate spending into wins.

Mets Fade Fast as Skid Reaches 11 Games

The New York Mets opened 2026 in a tailspin, sitting 7-15 for an 11-game losing streak and dead last in the NL, as injuries and underperforming newcomers erode the lineup despite a offseason roster overhaul. Bullpen misplays and late-game collapses have compounded a stagnant offense led by slow starts from Francisco Lindor and injuries to Juan Soto, with veterans and new pieces alike failing to jump-start production. The team heads into a challenging homestand against the Twins, Rockies, and Nationals as fans hope for a turnaround.
