The 2025 New York Mets season is finally over, as is the pain that has gone along with it. There are those who would use the phrase “epic collapse” but that is really not an accurate description of how the season actually went.
While it IS true that the Mets were 45-24, a .652 winning percentage, 21 games over .500 and a 5 ½ game lead in the NL East, that was in June. The “collapse” began on June 13 and continued in a steady deterioration as the Mets were able to even recapture first place for a few days, only to rapidly descend further and further until they weren’t even the third best wild card team.
