A Shut Out??!?!?!!!?!

This is sick, this is disgusting, this is pathetic, this is reminiscent of last year. The Mets have now dropped out of first place and one again are showing they do not know how to play baseball. As I watched yesterday’s game, I saw the text question appear, which basically asked do you think the Mets will win the division, win the wildcard or be out of the playoffs altogether.

The majority of fans, 56% said they would not make it to postseason. Keith Hernandez and Gary Cohen were talking about how that was cold on behalf of the fans. The thought going through my head was, it was not cold, it was reality and I was surprised ONLY 56% picked this option.

Met fans are used to dealing with frustration and certainly the Mets right now are doing everything they can to encourage that. Last year the Mets collapse was of epic portions. No MLB team in history ever chocked so badly. Now, this year, come the end of the season, The Mets are back in first place. They have now lost four of five to the Braves and Nationals. Those teams are at the bottom of the NL East. The Mets are better than those teams but, they are finding ways to lose.

Facing a pathetic Nationals team, the Mets have scored a total of two runs in the two games, TWO! Yesterday they were shut out. They can’t even score one lousy run off of the poor excuse of a pitcher that was thrown out there. The day before, they scored two runs. If we go back to the series against Atlanta, in both games that were lost, the Mets were winning late in the game.

They aren’t hitting, the bullpen is not coming through, they are finding ways to lose and are now out of first. Of course Met fans don’t have high hopes. We have been conditioned to expect these things. Unfortunately, we have not been conditioned to accept these things.

Once again, like yesterday, Met players, I implore you, WAKKKKKKKE UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

Let’s Go Mets!
