I can’t believe this team is 10 under. That means if they get super-hot for two weeks they will at .500. That means they aren’t going to get to .500 this year.
I think sucking all year may have been better than the head-fake of the first half. We could have just said Stupid Wilpons and words like cheap and dealt with a bad season.
Instead we saw life…and now just death. All dreams crushed. Everything going bad to worse.
This run since (some pick the All Star break, some pick June 1 and I like to pick June 3) has been unbelievably bad. It’s not just the losing it’s the sameness and the boredom of the losing. Low scoring games that are over once the Mets trail. They aren’t going to score and the bullpen is going to give up runs. Every night, every game.
Unless you have a 9 inning shutout in you then forget it, and if you do, don’t throw 130 pitches or your shoulder, knee, back will hurt.
It’s still not 1977 but it isn’t 1984 either. It may be 1982.
