The Mets lost to the Dodgers tonight, by the score of 8 to 0.

The Least You Should Know:

The Mets were shutout in back-to-back games for the first time since 2005 and have not scored in their last 22 innings. The team has also not had an extra-base hit since Friday night.

Mike Pelfrey, who allowed five runs, four earned on eight hits over three-plus innings, had good stuff tonight and was locating well, but you have to tip your cap to the Dodger hitters for having a good approach against Pelfrey.

Other Observations and Notes:

The Mets are uncompetitive at this point. It’s frustrating watching them knowing once the opposition puts a crooked number on the board the game is over. At the least the Mets weren’t wearing red hats.

I originally bought into the thought that any one player like Mark DeRosa or Adam Dunn wouldn’t replace the three-fourths of the core that is missing, but at this point the Mets may just need to make a change for the sake of making one to shake up the clubhouse.

Citi Field was dead tonight. Not even much of a response when Manny Ramirez stepped to the plate for the first time. Can you blame them?

I wonder who Fred Wilpon was rooting for tonight? I kid, I kid.

The Mets continue their three-game series against the Dodgers with Oliver Perez making his anticipated a return to the mound tomorrow night.
