Are We Supposed To Feel Better?

So the Mets won a game yesterday. As Met fans we are supposed to feel good, we are supposed to feel vindicated, we are supposed to feel like this makes a difference. I doubt Willie Randolph reads the blogs that are out there (or other higher ups in the organization) but they have got to understand that yesterday’s win does nothing to alleviate the pain. Yesterday’s victory changes NOTHING from what I posted the day before.

The Mets still cannot play well at home, they are now five games above .500 when playing at Shea. That is PATHETIC! The Mets still finished a 2 and 4 home stand, in which three of those games were against the Florida Marlins (and the other three against a team, the Atlanta Braves, the Mets have to show they can handle). The 2 and 4 home stand is PATHETIC. There starting pitching remains a MAJOR concern as once again, despite the win, Oliver Perez did not have it, did not have the good stuff we need him to have if the Mets are going to do anything. And, yes I will say it even following a 10-4 victory, the hitting still has not come around. The Mets kept letting the Marlins catch and/or pass them in terms of the runs scored until the eighth inning. Going into the eighth, the Mets had a 5-4 lead. This is UNACCEPTABLE.

As Met fans we deserve, yes I said DESERVE better. We have been loyal and suffered through the lean years and they should be rewarding us for staying faithful. If this were a bad team, I could live with it, but this team is underachieving, and that is what makes this so frustrating. They still need to find a way to turn things around. A ten game winning streak, 13 of 15, 16 of 20, some kind of streak, I guess I should specify winning streak, like that needs to happen.

They are good enough to do it, they just need to collectively get off their ass and do it!!!
