Mike Puma of the New York Post reported the Mets held a players-only meeting in the clubhouse following Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates after dropping the first two contests in the series. To say things have not gone well of late for the Mets would be an understatement.

New York manager Carlos Mendoza was ejected in the fourth for arguing balls and strikes. Following their 12th loss in 15 games, the Mets held a players-only meeting in the clubhouse.

The sports world was saddened to hear the news of the passing of baseball legend Dave Parker on Saturday afternoon. Parker had a storied career in Major League Baseball that spanned 19 years, but his time with the Pittsburgh Pirates was of course the most notable of his career.

Parker, a towering outfielder who helped propel the Pirates to the World Series in 1979, was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame last year.
