The 2026 New York Mets hit another low over the weekend. They got swept by the last-place Colorado Rockies in Queens, by scores of 4-3, 3-1 and 3-0. 

The Mets are 9-19 and tied with the Phillies for the worst record in baseball.

Meanwhile, the Mets’ offense, which was missing Juan Soto and now is missing Francisco Lindor, has been slumping to a shocking degree. 

The Mets finally ended their 12-game losing streak but looked terrible at home over the weekend against Colorado.

How secure is manager Carlos Mendoza’s job? 

Burger King is sliding into the slider game. The fast-food chain announced that it will test a new “King Size Sliders Box” for a limited time.

The company said that the new offering is bigger than a slider but smaller than a burger. Guests can build their own box of six king-size sliders, mixing and matching from their choice of three flavors of burgers.

The Deluxe Slider is topped with fresh lettuce, tomato, pickles and tangy burger aioli.

The Steakhouse Bacon Slider features melty Swiss cheese, crispy bacon, crispy onions and peppercorn sauce. The third option is the Bacon & Cheese Slider, topped with crispy bacon, melted American cheese and tangy burger aioli.

All three of the options have a “100% flame-grilled beef patty” and come on a “soft and buttery slider bun.”

The news comes shortly after Burger King announced that the Whopper is getting a makeover for the first time in nearly a decade.

Long shot Golden Tempo made a stretch run for the ages, coming from dead last to win the 152nd Run for the Roses. In the process, Cherie DeVaux became the first female trainer ever to win the Kentucky Derby.

In a Derby without a strong favorite, most of the public’s attention was on Arkansas Derby winner Renegade, Florida Derby winner Commandment, Santa Anita Derby winner So Happy and Bill Mott trainee Chief Wallabee.

But it was Golden Tempo, trained by DeVaux and ridden by Jose Ortiz, who went off at 23-1 and found itself in last place entering the final turns only to sweep past a tight pack in the stretch run to win by a nose over favorite Renegade. Ocelli, a 70-1 longshot, showed. The winning time was 2:02.27.
