Mike Pelfrey, fresh off the birth of his first kid, was below average once again, as he has been for seemingly every start the past month. Coming off a nice season he was our #2 going into this season. That about explains the way things have been going for this team. If you can make a case for Livan Hernandez being out second best starter behind Johan this season, especially the way Livan has thrown BP in some games, things are not going to be good.
Who the hell are these guys on the Diamondbacks, fresh off getting swept by the Nationals? One would think that's bad, but it's actually not a surprise. Look out now, but our cushion in the N.L. Least is now down to 12 games. I think people don't realize what the addition of Nyjer Morgan did to the Nats, who were basically playing with Dynasty League Baseball D's and F's in center before acquiring him. They are a better team than the Mets right now, as most teams are. Don't be surprised if they give us a run for the basement before the season ends.
Watching the game on DVR FFwd2 this morning was enough to see how bad things were going. It was not until I read after the fact that the Mets tried to turn a double play with no one covering first! No wonder they kept showing shots of Anderson Hernandez after the play. It was not worth the time to stop and hit play to see what was going on. Is Jerry Manuel bald yet? You lose hair if you're managing the team that was on display lsat night.
