Even the velvet smooth voice of the great Vin Scully doesn’t make it any easier to watch as the Mets dropped their ninth of eleven games to the Dodgers 4-1. It seems the Mets offense has lost the ability to produce any kind of relevant offense after the third inning.  I am so sick and tired of watching the same game over and over. The video recent at bats are on the highlight reel of every mediocre pitcher that looks like the second coming of Walter Johnson facing the slumping Mets. If the Dodgers sent out a tee to pitch the ninth, the Mets would have still lost 4-2. They should just forfeit after the fifth inning if they are behind to save us all the time and frustration.

John Maine botching the sac bunt attempt in the fifth after giving up a solo homerun to the freaking pitcher was the degree to make my Mets-rage boil over.

I’ve lived through some mighty poor to downright bad baseball as a fan of this team, I could live through the years of trotting out Joe McEwing or Jason Phillips to the everyday lineup and watch the Mets record deteriorate out of contention in the past. What is driving me crazy is that this team IS the best in the National League, though you wouldn’t know it by watching the June 07 Mets.

I swear to god if I see Beltran or Delgado take another homerun cut off their heals I am going to smash my computer. Memo to power hitters, shorten your stroke when your team needs a base hit; you should have gotten this information sometime around triple A. Oh, and I’ll make sure you get another copy of that memo.

What scares the crap out of me is my suspicion that this team feels entitled to the Worlds Series. Yeah fellas, ask the 06-07 Dallas Mavericks how wise of a strategy that was and get back to me. This is the team that would fight and scrap for every hit and every run seems to be mailing it in, and is damn lucky they aren’t 8 back of Atlanta at this point.

I don’t know if other Mets fans are feeling the same frustration, but by the bottom of the eighth of Wednesday’s game my cynicism devolved to me co-broadcasting with Vin Scully

Scully: So in the ninth the Mets will have the heart of their order, Beltran, Wright and Delgado.
Me: Like it *expletive deleted* matters.

Not fun times for Mets fans.

WAKE UP METS!
