Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn’t one today. -Bill Murray

Where have I seen this before? I had to check MLB.TV to make sure I wasn’t watching yesterday’s game. If all lefties batted right-handed, righties batted left handed and switch hitters came to the plate with one of those inflatable novelty bats it would have at least been original and just as competitive. Sure some of the names are different but the same damn thing keeps happening:

The Mets score what won’t be nearly enough, the Dodgers have a big inning capped off by Delgado not making a play on a ball down the line and then the Mets seemingly go one-two-three until the end of a ball game as the Dodgers tack on the runs. You lose hope somewhere around the fourth inning.

You want a prediction about June, you’re asking the wrong guy. I’ll give you a prediction: It’s gonna low-scoring, it’s gonna be gray, and it’s gonna last for the rest of the month. -Lonestar Mets

The most interesting thing of tonight’s game was the odd exchange between Shawn Green and Brad Penny after Green struck out swinging on a high fastball to end the inning. I was watching the Dodger feed so I don’t know if SNY had a better angle. If I had to guess, I would assume Penny either suspected green of peeking at Russ Martin’s location or signals or Penny thought Reyes was sending Green the pitch.

After Valentin was stranded in scoring position after a 1 out double, I thought to myself, “Here’s where the wheels come off. Sure enough Wilson Betemit hit’s a solo shot, Matt Kemp legged out a double, Rafael Furcal hit’s a ball down the line that Delgado makes a half assed- you know what, I don’t need to go over it again. If you went to sleep, do yourself a favor and don’t bother looking at the boxscore, it will just upset you.

After the Dodgers added a run in the bottom of the sixth, I seriously contemplated jabbing out one of my eyes so at least I could watch the game from a different perspective.

If you are one that insists on looking for a silver lining, here is all I have for you at this late hour:

First, David Wright is hitting the ball very well. Not that there has been anyone on base to take advantage of it, nor is no one hitting behind him. But hey, it’s something, right?

Secondly at some point this thing has to bottom out and the Mets will have to start playing good baseball again, this team is two good not to. Lets just hope they aren’t in last by the time that happens. I know that isn’t much consolation but this team has looked flatter than I have seen in over two years. After tonight’s uninspired complete failure and a day off to travel the Mets head to Yankee Stadium to take on the red hot highlanders who have won their last eight.

There is no way this slump is EVER going to end as long as this offense keeps playing so poorly. I don’t see any way out of it. It’s got to be stopped. And I have to stop it. -Hopefully uttered by someone in a Mets Uniform

Good night!
