Game Stop announced a flurry of store closings, with nearly 300 stores either already closed or set to close.

The closures come as the gaming retailer plans to downsize.

In the last fiscal year, GameStop closed 590 U.S. stores.

GameStop stated in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it would close a “significant number of additional stores” in the current fiscal year.

As of the beginning of last year, GameStop operated 2,325 stores in the United States.

The Mets have ripped off 11 wins in 15 games after a trade deadline sell-off. They have won four of their last five series and have injected a bit of life into what had been a miserable season.

It will take an enormous run to even be in contention in mid-September. The Mets still trail the Padres by 10 games for the third and final NL wild-card spot, and six other teams are ahead of them. 

To reach 83 wins, the number of victories the final wild-card team secured a year ago, the Mets would need to go 25-9. That’s a .735 winning percentage, an extraordinarily tall order.

The Mets have the seventh-most difficult remaining strength of schedule, their opponents owning a combined .520 winning percentage. 

It includes 12 games against division leaders (White Sox and Rays on the road, Brewers and Astros at home).
