As I watched our New York Mets lose their second straight game to the lowly Milwaukee Brewers, who looked toothless without injured All-Star Ryan Braun, I wallowed for a bit in some self pity. How could this be happening to my team – a team I predicted would win the NL East with 95 or more wins? Even with our best hitter Yoenis Cespedes still ailing on the sidelines, how could we let a...
