"Are The Mets Still In The League?"

From May 31 to June 9 - eight games - the Mets' starting pitchers had a very impressive 2.16 ERA.

But Mets gotta Mets so ... the team lost all eight games. The scores:

1-5
4-7
1-7
0-2
1-2
0-1
1-4
3-4

The last time a team had a starters' ERA that low over a span of eight consecutive losses was almost 100 years ago -- in May 1919, when the Washington Senators' starters had a 1.73 ERA. (@EliasSports)
