I Hate May
Even when a New York Mets player does something that hasn’t happened in 55 years, they still lose. The Mets dropped the opener of the two-game series with a 5-3 loss to the Washington Nationals and fell even deeper into last place.
Angel Pagan hit an inside-the-park home run and started a triple play, but neither [...]
Once More Into The Abyss
The Mets sank back into last place on Tuesday with another depressing loss, dropping a 3-2 decision to the Atlanta Braves. The offense continues to be hit and miss as they managed just five hits. Johan Santana pitched well. Seven innings, five hits, four strikeouts and only one mistake. A 2-1 pitch to Troy Glaus [...]
Wait? Who’s On The Mound?
Where do the Mets go from here?
After being swept in Florida by the Marlins, looking like a team destined to lose 90 games, they turned it around, albeit for a single game. The starting pitcher went into the 8th to bypass the overworked bullpen (second most innings pitched in the NL). Then when called upon, [...]
Hooray! Last Place! (said sarcastically)
The New York Mets haven’t been in such a hurry to leave Florida since Spring Training in 1986. They were swept by the Marlins, losing the game Sunday 10-8. The losing streak is now five in a row and they may have to plug a second hole in the rotation. Oh yeah, they are also [...]
The Sky Is Falling. Maybe.
The problem isn’t Oliver Perez. It’s the stubbornness of the manager and ownership to do something about him. Must we live through another week and a thousand more posts about how bad Perez is pitching? Something needs to be done right now and if its not with him coming out of the rotation, maybe we [...]
Bad Start To Road Trip
I know what’s echoing in the mind of all Mets fans.
‘Is this gonna be that kind of road trip?’
The one where the Mets go 2-6 and lose a pair of games like this.
A walk-off wild pitch. Really?
After last years’ bizarre dagger-twist losses, this one seems like a long paper cut. Dipped in lemon.
The Mets wasted [...]
Mets Fall Back To Third
If only the Mets didn’t have to pitch to the 7th and 9th place hitters in the Nationals lineup on Wednesday. Light hitting right fielder Roger Bernadina and pitcher Chris Stammen were all the Nats needed in sending the Mets back into third place with a 6-4 victory.
Not only did those two Nationals drive in [...]
