Meager

Yet another inning where the Mets look like little leaguers. The problem here is you have Ryan Church, a regular, making an awful throw to allow a run to score. You have David Wright, a regular, allowing a foul pop up to fall in. And you have Omir Santos, one half of a platoon (so consider that a regular), drop a pop up. All in one inning. Do you really think this stuff gets fixed with the returns of all our injured players?

Jamie Moyer looked like the Jamie Moyer who stymied us last year. This time around it's a little easier. It's not surprising that the Mets might get out of a three-game series in Citizens Bank Park without hitting a homerun. Pathetic.

At this point, even if they get swept today, they will only be four games out. Keep telling yourself that. Reality will strike us in a few weeks when we're ten games behind the Marlins and the Braves. This team is weak. It's got nothing left. We got three guys in the lineup between Murphy, Tatis and Evans that do not have a position in the field. And you wonder why there are missed cutoffs and mental fielding errors? It's on the job training and it's not going to go swimmingly.

It was announced that Oliver Perez will return to the rotation this week. Is that anything to get excited about? He had no command whatsoever in his latest rehab start. I'm not sure if the Mets had any choice in terms of how long they can leave him down there "on rehab" but if he could've he should've stayed there until he had that real quality start. When Ollie gets knocked out in the third inning against the Dodgers after walking five, you'll wonder what the hell is the difference.
