The Mets restated their issues yesterday with failing to complete a sweep for the second time this season, which puts them back at .500 for year. Now its still very early, but I also have this problem where when I expect my team to go somewhere, I practically expect perfection (for example, I was not like this in 2003, or 2004 where it was nice to see wins, but it wasn't expected but really since 2006 I expect wins all the time, hopefully I can get out of the phase in my life soon). Anyway the Mets lost yesterday thanks to one of the two problems they have developed this season.
They either get no starting pitching and score a ton of runs
OR
They get effective starting pitching, but decide not to score any runs.
And its not like the Mets didn't hit yesterday either. They had over 12 hits but they couldn't get runs home which is starting to get really agervating. The hope is though: If you are getting a lot of hits, then it should be just a matter of time until the hits happen in succession of each other and the runs start coming home. They need to figure this out soon because this upcoming series is going to be tough, but its also important because it is a statement series. Also, if they get momentum with the Cardinals, then they should be able to roll over the Nationals, who teams seem to be beating up on this season to get their records up.
Meanwhile, we all still wait for the Marlins to run out of gas…I hope that happens soon.
