What Happened?

The lose to the Marlins two days ago was embarrassing but, considering they took two out of three, it was acceptable. Yesterday’s lose was ridiculous, disgusting and pitiful. The Mets should feel ashamed. The Bullpen gave up six runs in the final two innings to lose the game 7-5. The Mets had a 5-1 lead after six innings but they could not hold it. It gets worse…

If I followed the statistics correctly, this is the sixth time the Mets have had a lead of four runs or more where they have failed to keep it. It also marks the eighth time that the Mets have gone into the ninth inning with a lead, only to lose the game.

Those statistics MUST change. They are in the middle of a pennant race. Any one of those games, come the end of the season, could be the difference between the Mets getting into Postseason and not making it. Fellas, it is time to WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE or at least start playing baseball. I don’t know what they were playing yesterday but it is not baseball!

Let’s Go Mets!
