Same Old Song
A day you thought would've been perfect for the Mets to start a turnaround turned out to be just a typical day in the 2008 story. The Mets lost 7 to 3 the night after Willie Randolph received a temporary vote of confidence from the front office.
What can you say at this point? It started out awful with the Jose Reyes error, ultimately leading to two runs in the first. But then it seemed like the Mets woke up. Reyes homered and they added a few more hits after that and we had a tied game. The in the second Reyes homered again and all of a sudden the Mets were in the lead. From there, all you had to do was drop in your seat and say "here we go again".
Mike Pelfrey struggled with two outs in the fourth and once you blinked the Marlins were up 6 to 3. The Mets got the tying run to the play in the fifth with two on and none out, but from there the next 15 hitters were sat down and the game simply came to an end, once again on the losing side.
I'm out of comments. I know that all this team needs is a big, dramatic, comeback win, but I knew it wasn't gonna happen tonight. They only have one win when trailing after six innings. Pathetic.
Then things got even worse once the fans started chanting "Fire Willie" and strongly booing Carlos Delgado. It was an overall ugly night at Shea Stadium, and it seems like nothing has changed in the last week now.
Things are going bad, and I don't know how they can be fixed. This isn't Willie's fault, and if you've watched any of these last eight games closely, you know it's not Willie's fault. These guys taking the field need to take a good, long look at themselves and need to realize they need to start playing at a different. Then, and only then, will this team turn things around.
It's been painful, Mets fans, but just hang on. After all, that's why we're fans.
