NEW YORK — How the mighty have fallen.
The Mets and the Chicago White Sox were popular favorites to contend at the start of the season, but by the time the two met Tuesday night at Citi Field each had tumbled to fourth place in their respective divisions and boasted similar records.
However, the Mets’ season is still alive after an 11-10 win over the White Sox in the first game of a three-game series, but barely. Chicago (40-56) can’t say the same.
