The best images from the Mets' painful weekend series against the Braves.
The Mets lost both Jose Reyes and Daniel Murphy to injuries Sunday in their 6-5 loss to the Braves, forcing manager Terry Collins to use both Justin Turner and later David Wright at shortstop for the first time.
The New York Mets suffered a painful loss Sunday afternoon not only in the standings but to their lineup as both Jose Reyes and Daniel Murphy had to leave the game due to injury.
Justin Turner, Jason Bay and Josh Thole put on a power display Saturday night as the Mets out-slugged the Atlanta Braves in a 11-7 victory.
Dan Uggla extended his career-best hitting streak to 26 games with a two-run single in the eighth inning, Tim Hudson pitched seven stellar innings and the Atlanta Braves beat the New York Mets 4-1 on Friday night.
As of Friday, only St. Louis and Arizona stand between the Mets and the Braves. They have nine games left with Atlanta, including six at Citi Field in August. They play three of those games this weekend -- and these are urgent times for the Mets.
It appears the Mets have finalized a long-awaited trade that would ships Carlos Beltran to the Giants for pitching prospect Zack Wheeler.
Baseball long ago opened the door to replay when it allowed reviews of whether a ball is a home run, including whether it is fair or foul. So it's not a big leap to allow replay of, oh, I don't know, PLAYS THAT DECIDE GAMES, like this one.
The future address of the slugging Mets right fielder is still very much up in the air. The question in my mind is, what if the Mets don't get quality prospect offers for Carlos Beltran?
Teams are reticent to give up prospects, especially pitching prospects, and history has shown that rental players generally cost too much, especially blue chip rentals like Carlos Beltran.
The top three teams maintain their positions, but check out the shuffling at the bottom. And don't forget to say your good byes to the Tampa Bay Rays.
Carlos Beltran told reporters on Sunday that he won't OK a deal to a team that would make him a designated hitter. It didn't take long for rumors to circulate online: the slugger doesn't want to play in the American League.
Once the dust settles on the July 31 trading deadline, Carlos Beltran could be playing for the Braves, Rangers, Giants, Red Sox or Phillies. All good options, according to the Mets' All-Star outfielder.

Francisco Rodriguez took responsibility for the blown save that led to D.J. Carrasco's game-ending balk in the 10th inning on Thursday. "Three pitches, it's a tie ballgame," Rodriguez said. "There's no excuses. I didn't execute and it cost us the game."
D.J. Carrasco's balk in the 10th inning gave the Atlanta Braves 9-8 win over the New York Mets on Thursday night.
The Mets are at .500 for the first time in almost a month, and rookie Dillon Gee deserves credit, even if he couldn't qualify for the team's latest win.
Jair Jurrjens couldn't slow Jose Reyes, who had three hits, two steals, an RBI and scored two runs to lead the New York Mets to a 4-3 win over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.
Carlos Beltran leads the Mets in home runs and runs batted in so far in 2011, but he also leads the club in games played this season and last week, Beltran appeared in his 800th career game with New York.
Dillon Gee has been a pleasant surprise for the Mets since claiming a spot in the pitching rotation. By improving his record to 6-0 as the Mets blanked the Braves, 5-0, last Saturday night, Gee became the first rookie in Mets history to win his first six decisions in a season, all as a starting pitcher.
