WTF, Mets?

The Mets just lost again, falling to the Twins 6-2.

That makes their record 4-14 for the month. They've lost 6 consecutive series.

If I didn't have this blog to distract me, I'd be quite depressed. Nonetheless, I am pretty upset.

Since the start of June, the starters have come back to earth, the bullpen has fallen apart, and the batters have forgotten how to bat.

Admittedly, the Mets schedule has been quite difficult the last few weeks, espcially with inequiable interleague play. They've played the Yankees, the Dodgers, the Diamondbacks, the Phillies, the Tigers, and the Twins this week--all formidable teams. Yet this is no excuse.

A .500 record against these teams would have been perfectly acceptable. A .285 record is not.

Sometimes batters have hard times, sometimes pitchers lose it for a while, but for a whole team to go into a slump, for this long? It doesn't make sense, and it's starting to piss me off.

Wake up Willie! Let's start getting people out Glavine! Learn to hit Carlos'! You made it to game seven of the NLCS last year. Now, it looks like you don't even deserve to get to the first round.
