NY Post.com:

Mets drop into NL East tie as Carlos Carrasco struggles in loss to Marlins “The Mets dug a first-inning hole they never climbed out of and lost 6-4 to the Marlins in front of 29,067 at Citi Field on Tuesday night. The loss was just their third in the past 11 games, and, in the process, they lost their division lead.”

Mets, Braves talking options as Hurricane Ian looms over crucial series

Marlins’ Richard Bleier charged with three balks in one at-bat vs. Mets

SNY.TV: Hurricane Ian could wreak havoc on Mets and Braves' weekend series that could determine NL East. Mets and Braves are scheduled to play three games in Atlanta from Friday through Sunday. 

Mets.com:

Mets.com: MLB discussing contingency plans for Mets-Braves series “Options include shifting Friday’s game to a matinee and/or scheduling a split doubleheader on Sunday.”

With 7 games left, Mets drop sole possession of first place "Although the Mets are on a 101-win pace, they have not collected victories quite as consistently in September. Over the first third of the season, the Mets produced a .648 winning percentage. Over the second third, they posted a .630 mark. Since that time, the Mets have played .596 baseball -- still one of the better rates in the league, but not enough to keep pace with the Braves, who have been Major League Baseball’s best team since Aug. 9."

The difficult postseason decision Mets face

Metstradamus:

This Is Not The Time "The Atlanta Braves have made it abundantly clear that you have to be perfect to vanquish them. I’m sure the Mets relish that opportunity. But they played far from perfect on Tuesday night and it cost them the outright division lead."

Mets360:

Gut Reaction: Marlins 6, Mets 4 (9/27/22) "The Mets had Carlos Carrasco fly back from the West Coast early so he would be ready for Tuesday night’s start. Well, sounded good in theory but the reality was not pretty. Carrasco laid an egg, the bullpen let up additional runs and the Mets found themselves on the wrong end of a 6-4 game."

1962

In front of only 595 fans at Wrigley Field, the Cubs (58-101) beat the Mets (39-118) in the first meeting in major league history between two 100-loss teams before the series begins. The New York expansion team will split the remaining two games in Chicago to finish the season 40-120, establishing the record for the most losses in baseball's modern-era.

2003

At Turner Field in Atlanta, Jose Reyes becomes the second Mets player to hit a home run from both sides of the plate in one game. Lee Mazzilli was the first when he went yard twice against the Dodgers in LA on September 3, 1978.

2008

The Mets play their final game at Shea Stadium, a 4-2 loss to the Marlins, disappointing a sellout crowd by failing to qualify for the postseason on the last day of the season for the second consecutive year. After the contest, former Mets, including Hall of Famers Willie MaysYogi Berra, and Tom Seaver, as well as Darryl StrawberryDwight Gooden and Mike Piazza, but not any of the club's current players, take part in a ceremony to celebrate the history of the 45 year-old ballpark in front of the subdued spectators gathered to 'Shea Goodbye'.

2010

David Wright sets the all-time Mets record for strikeouts in a season with 157. The third baseman passes the infamous mark shared by Dave Kingman (1982) and Tommie Agee (1970).

2011

Jose Reyes takes himself out of the season finale, after laying down a bunt single off Edinson Volquez in the first inning of the Mets' 3-0 victory over Cincinnati at Citi Field. The infield hit, which will be his last for the Mets until returning to the club in 2016, raises the shortstop's average to a league-leading .337, nudging Milwaukee's Ryan Braun for the NL batting crown, the first in franchise history.
