COLORADO?

Colorado? COLORADO?!! THE COLORADO ROCKIES????!!!?!?!

I understand the Mets are still in first place. I understand that they are a good team and I should be pleased with their overall record as we head towards the All-Star game. Still, all I can think right now is COLORADO???

After a terrible start for the month of June, that lasted for more than half the month, they finally started to turn things around. Then heading into Philadelphia, they took the first three games of a four game set (and three out of four) and seemed to stiffle the momentum the Phillies had built up.

While it would have been nice to see them take a four game sweep of the Phils, certainly I was not disappointed with their performance there. Losing the last game, however, followed by a lossing two in a row to a clearly sub-par Colorado team puts them on a three game losing streak.

I know teams go through there ups and downs. This is all part of being a fan. It comes with the territory. Still good teams have more ups then downs and that has been the way it has gone for the Mets for the past few years. Now, having suffered through that rough time in June, it is time for them to create their own good fortune. Losing three in a row, after winning three in a row; losing the first two games to a weak Colorado team is not the way to do it.

Once again, I say Colorado? COLORADO?!!! THE COLORADO ROCKIES????!!!?!?!

ARGGGGGGGGGGG!!!
