The Mets continue to play ball the way they have all season… poorly, with the occasional good game mixed in. The finished a four game series with the Yankees on Sunday and not surprisingly, when you have two mediocre teams, they split. Then it was onto St. Louis and that series started yesterday.
I don’t think many people were surprised that the Mets lost yesterday to the Cardinals. St. Louis is playing good baseball and the Mets are not. Unfortunately, the Mets did not even look like a Triple A team yesterday. They are looking ugly. Is it any surprise that as of the last check, no Met is slated to start the All-Star game? The bottom line is, there is no one on this team who deserves to start and if not for a rule that states each team must have at least one representative (a rule I happen to like but it is a debate for another time), probably no one on the team who even deserves to go to the game.
Poor play has been the MO of the Mets all season. They just can’t seem to get it together. In fact, I was amazed to hear that Jerry Manuel wants Luis Castillo to take more of a role in developing Jose Reyes, kind of like Jose Valentin did. Is Reyes still at this stage? Does he need to be babied and brought along. Right now it is time for Jose Reyes to start helping some other players develop, not the other way around.
Well, I will hope the Mets turn it around in St. Louis but, honestly, I am not expecting much.
Let’s Go Mets!
