The Mets get another crack at the Washington Nationals tonight. It is amazing that a team which the Mets had destroyed, a team that has scored the fewest amount of runs in the National League, has owned the Mets this past week and a half.
The Nationals have beaten us four straight—three in Washington DC and now one at Shea. Is it that the Nationals gear up for the Mets? Is it that Manny Acta takes pride in beating his former team? Perhaps, but I think there is one more possibility that needs to be examined. The Mets flat out suck right now. With the exception of the Marlins, the Mets have not been able to beat pennant contenders, such as the Phillies and they have not been able to beat cellar dwellers, such as the Nationals.
I really think the Mets should consider changing their name right now. Rather than be know as the New York Mets, we should just refer to them as the chokers, because right now, they are choking. Hopefully the Mets will be able to regroup. Hopefully the Mets will gear up, but as I said before, even if they make it to the playoffs, is this a team you feel comfortable with in post season? I don’t. If they get there, I see them being eliminated in the first series. I hope I am wrong, but their play of late has not exactly helped brew confidence. It would be nice if that all changes starting tonight.
Let’s Go Mets!
