- Yikes. I mean, yikes. Say it again, yikes.
- So, the Mets are a below-500 team. I mean, maybe that’s a good thing at this point. Maybe this will act as a bit of cold water – or, I should say I hope it does.
- A lot of things happened in this game, but what I found most frustrating, was David Wright. He makes a tremendous statement last night, talking about emotion, wanting to win, etc., and then plays a horrible game tonight. In fact, it looked like he was trying to do too much. He had a rough night at the plate, in the field and on the bases, getting doubled-up on first base in the ninth inning on a line drive by Carlos Beltran. I’m not picking on Wright. I mean, every one is entitled to a rough game. He’s my favorite player on the team. I’m just saying, it’s crazy how finally this team gets a player to say the right things, and then that very player struggles on the night. It’s like, they just can’t get it together, even when they’re trying their hardest.
- I think it may be time to begin Willie Watch, as a four-game sweep and falling below .500 cannot be good.
The Mets travel to Colorado to take on the Rockies tomorrow, starting at 9 pm EDT, with Oliver Perez facing Greg Reynolds.
