I have been saying to my friends, the ones who are Met fans, that I do not think this team will collapse again, that I have more confidence in this group of players, even with a smaller lead, than I did with last year’s team. This is all changing.
The Mets are finding ways to lose. Worse than that, they are finding ways to give away games. Certainly I would be frustrated if they were just losing but the way they are doing it is devastating. It clearly is shades of last year. The bullpen is not getting the job done, the hitters and not hitting and the starting pitching, while maybe okay or acceptable, is certainly not good.
The Mets lost two of three to the lowly Braves and now lost the opener to the Nationals in Washington. Philly continues to play well and gain ground. The Mets now only have a half game lead over the Phillies. Perhaps, they have a shot at the wild card since Philadelphia took the Brewers down a notch. I believe the Brewers and Phills have an identical record so, if Philadelphia wins the division, the Mets have a shot at the wild card.
That being said, this is a team that should have something to prove. This is a team that should take the division. Anything less than that should be demoralizing to this team. If they back into the post-season via the wildcard, they will not have the momentum, they obviously will not be playing well and they should feel embarrassed.
Come on guys, WAKKKKKKKE UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
Let’s Go Mets!
