Thursday's loss ensured the Mets will finish with a second straight losing season. New York (77-82) struck out 13 times in dropping its third in a row to the Brewers. After finishing 70-92 last year, New York wraps up its second season at Citi Field with a three-game set against Washington. "We didn't set out to be a .500 club," Mets manager Jerry Manuel said. "We set out to try to win a championship."
