Now Pitching

Now pitching and batting ninth for the New York Mets, The Adjunct Professor. Yes, you read that right. With the way the Mets are playing right now, I could not do any worse than any other pitcher they have. My friends are willing to round out the starting rotation. As for the bullpen, I stopped by the cemetery and just listed some names off the headstones. Right now, the Mets pitching staff is made up of has-beens, never-will-bes, forgot-how-to-pitch pitchers and just flat out bums.

So, the win three games in a row. That third game, they tried to give to the Marlins, but Florida is just so pitiful, they could not take it. So the Mets left Florida with a three game winning streak and winning three of the four games.

Today it was back to the Nationals, this time in Shea. The lowly Nationals continue to show that they have the Mets number. Right now, it looks as if most people do. So if and when this team backs into Post Season, the heartless bunch, the team who is playing with no spirit and no spunk, will probably be eliminated early in the Post Season.

Not to worry, however, because Willie tells us we will be drinking champagne. Right now, that might only be the case if we steal it from the Phillies.

A dear friend of mine told me this team reminds him of the Met teams of the late 80’s, a lot of talent but unable to do anything with it. That really seems to be the case with this team. This team has the players that should be capable of winning. The problem right now, however, is they have no pitching.

Pedro is back and looking good, but he is on a short leash. El Duque is on the shelf. Seems he did this to us last year as well. He is too old to last a season and we probably will not see him in the post season (if we get that far). Maine has been a total screw-up for the second half of the year.

As I said, right now, I could do a better job pitching for the Mets, and that is pretty pathetic, but then again, right now, the Mets are pretty pathetic.
