One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

It’s amazing. You would think heading into Atlanta the Mets would have some momentum. I realize the Yankees are currently a last place team but I really do not think they will finish the season there (although it would be nice). Still, the city gets into the subway series. The Mets seemed to be pumped. They got to two pretty good pitchers, one of whom had not lost at home all year. You would think they would be excited to go against the Braves, to go against Glavine, and score some runs.

Obviously that did not happen. The Mets lost both ends of a double header and their hitting went back to being anemic. In 18 innings of baseball, the Mets only scored three runs. After those 18 innings were over, the Mets had lost two games, only scored three times, gave up 12 runs and had their most offensive threat (Ryan Church) sent to the hospital.

I do not know what is wrong with this team but something is. It seems like for every step forward they take two steps backwards. Lets hope they can snap out of this and start playing like we all expected them to.

Let’s Go Mets!
