I am still reeling from yesterday’s doubleheader sweep by the Nationals. Worse yet was the fact that our team has shown little life these past few games with the carrot of home field advantage dangling in front of their faces. I can accept the fact that we were no-hit by Max Scherzer, what I can’t accept was the fact that the Mets didn’t make any attempt to field anything resembling their a lineup on the field.
I understand that this past week with the threat of hurricane Joaquin and frigid temperatures that the coaching staff wanted to rest and protect our core players but last night I saw very little fight. I mean how’s about trying to bunt for a base hit to at least save themselves the embarrassment of being no hit for the second time this season ?
I don’t know maybe I am being to reactive to the current losing streak but I just hope that the offense shows up today and we can close the regular season on a winning note.
I do believe we will dispatch the Dodgers in 4 games, even though we don’t have the home field advantage, but obviously this team is going to have to wake up from their slumber.
LETS GO METS !!!
And with that said…. HERE COMES THE INFAMY !!!!

This is amazing they threw away home field advantage. I just don’t get it.
That Philly series was disgraceful
