I watched a Mets game the other day and to say we looked terrible and inept would be an understatement. The opposing team scored 2 in the top of the first and 2 more in the second. There was a hit batsmen, an error, a wild pitch and a couple of walks thrown in for good measure. There were also 3 stolen bases in the first 4 innings, not to mention ‘action in the Mets bullpen’ in only the 2nd...
Read MoreEverywhere you go today you’ll read pretty much the same thing. Tops on today’s agenda is of course Oliver Perez and wait until you see what the Mets manager had to say about him. “I don’t know what we do,” Manuel said. “It’s something that has us concerned.

Although poor starting pitching and lack of hitting with runners in scoring position – the Mets are still within a series sweep of first.

Fossum pitched in relief of Oliver Perez and allowed a pair of inherited runners to score and also was charged with one run on three hits and three walks in 2 2/3 innings. The Mets originally DFA’d Nelson Figuerora to make room...
Read MoreSomeone should have told the Mets they didn’t have this Sunday off. They sure did play as if today was not a regularly scheduled game. Again, we faced a rookie, and again he (Zimmermann) made us look very bad. Incidentally, our third Sunday in a row has been spoiled. I’ll confess that I stopped watching the game after Carlos—who-needs-to-slide—Beltran GIDP in the 8th. The rest of you can fill me...
