Mets Take Another Dump On Playoff Hopes

This was the kind of game the Mets have taken by the scruff of the neck under Jerry Manuel this season. On the heels of many demoralising losses the Mets have made a statement through victory.

Not so last night.



Last night they let the Nats to beat up on them with barely a whimper of protest.

I mean, c'mon. John Lannan??

Anderson effin Hernandez?

.209 in 158 at-bats with the bases loaded this season?

Ugh.

This loss is a deep whiff of 2007.

For the first time in months, the NL East lead down to a half game, the Mets failed to come back from a bitter, ugly loss and exacerbated it with another ugly loss instead.

Flat. Maybe scared. Maybe doomed.

"There's no panic. We know what's at stake," David Wright says with panic written all over.

Reyes, Wright, Beltran, Delgado; 1 for 15.

Talk is cheap, lads. It's now or never time.

Why did Millie Jackson take off that one shoe? I need to know. Anyway, isn't it she who sang, "If Loving You is Wrong, I Don't Want to be Right" ?

I wish I didn't love the Mets so much, right now.
