Thats the problem. Our pitcher pitches a great game, but makes two mistakes and Phillies get two HRs.

Their pitcher makes a mistake, and the Mets get a single.

No deterant for mistakes if no one can hit it out.

Great, if the Phillies and their fans write us off, then in Sept, when we are 15 games out and Beltran finally returns (and we find out that neither Delgado nor Reyes will be back) we can play spoiler.

That’s a glaring statistic and I thank you for posting it.

Your reply is the most intelligent one posited today. But guess what? Most fans are beer-guzzling drunks that can barely understand what you’re saying! Or, it could be a family that isn’t familiar with baseball statistics that only visit the ball park to have a good time. People won’t sacrifice going to the game for the sake of a higher cause. These mentioned folk are also deleterious to our cause. With that said, the stadium will ALWAYS sell a plethora of tickets.

I can safely speak for all of us when I say that the word “frustration” cannot even begin to assess how we feel right now. Why is no one holding Mr. Minaya accountable for our team’s incompetence? Why don’t we begin chanting “FI-RE O-MAR?” at Citi Field? Why can’t Gary Cohen have the testicular fortitude call the team out live on television? –forget professionalism; it would be therapeutic for us that matter most to this organization, the fans! It seems like our players don’t have psychological strength to withstand criticism and tribulation. Must I remind everyone that we’re currently three games under .500 and four games behind our arch rivals – fourth place in the pitiable NL EAST? We scored three runs in three games! We put on an embarrassing display of baseball in Philadelphia, and have given the players and their fans reason to write off the Mets for the season.

Are any of you embarrassed? Is it even worth expending this much energy on a team that, honestly and possibly, could not care less about their pathetic losing streak?

2 extra base hits in three games in that ballpark is beyond ridiculous. Wright has been plain off the charts awful over the past 10 games (5 for 40 and that includes a 3 for 4 game) and the lineup is crowded with way too many .250 or less singles hitters. They’re way beyond one bat helping them at this point even if that bat was Pujols. They need an injection of 3 above average major league hitters. 1-2 and 6-9 are just too incredibly weak night in and night out.

i think the organization would start to care about the fans if people stopped showing up to the brand new park…

Dear God. Only the Mets. Only the Mets would see a constant offensive meltdown time after time and not do something with the coaching. And to those of you who are going to start in on the players spare me. OK. You’ve got different players don’t you and the results are the same. Only the Mets would watch a team self-destruct twice and do nothing to the management. Only the Mets would not fire a GM and Assistant GM who have destroyed a farm system and made some of the worst signings in baseball. And lastly only the Mets would care as little about their fans as they seem to.

id agree on that if this wasnt such a consistent reoccurance…if he just happened to hit in one there its like “well damn” but he does it almost every other time he gets up in a DP situation

It was a bullet one hopper. Two feet either way and it’s a rbi single. Unlike Wright, he hit it hard but right at someone. I can never kill a guy if he hits it hard but right at someone. Thems the breaks.
