To lose only as the Mets could...

Thankfully because of the time I mercifully did not see the end of the Mets game last night. But the highlights (lowlights?) are rough enough. The Mets had as many errors as the Dodgers had hits (5) The Dodgers won the game (after the Mets lost it, more on that later) first on a routine fly ball that Angel Pagan runs into Carlos Beltran resulting in a two base error. Ok this is little league stuff; the centerfielder ALWAYS has the the right of way, especially when he calls for it. Beltran had some choice words afterwards. Later the Mets have the runner dead to rights at home; and Jeramy Reed throws it away (from first base) these are supposed to be major leaguers, yet they played like amatuer hour last night.

Now we get to the top of the 11th, Ryan-my coach hates me- Church. Already in the doghouse Church rounds third and heads home safely. Oh wait an appeal to third..... and hes out! He missed third base. Now whether or not he did or did not touch third is less the issue than NOBODY complained about it! I'm sorry if I'm the manager or the player I am going to argue until I'm thrown out of the game and then argue some more. But no, they just kinda sat in stunned silence.

The wheels are kind of falling off; Reyes hurt, Cora DL, Delgado DL, interclub squabbles... they need to pull it together and quickly, otherwise this roadtrip which started so promising could end up a disaster.
