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.

I am no starting a Terry Watch (that’s where we watch the media turn and harp until Terry is fired) but I’m wondering I’d it’s time to start the Terry-Watch Watch.

That’s where we keep an eye to see if the media starts throwing in comments here and there. After losing three to the Rockies I can argue that it’s not unwarranted. It’s not like anything is working so it isn’t like we’re talking about getting rid of Joe Torre in the summer of 2001.

On the other hand I don’t know who the hell Terry is supposed to play. Nobody hits. Nobody. Nobody pitches other than (stealing a line here) two and a half men. You could be me in the dugout (as you know I am a top-shelf manager) and I have no ideas for you.

I don’t think “Wally Backman” or Miller Huggins or Joe Torre or Bob Geren can do anything with this roster.

And yet, the Watch Watch may be coming. Your move typewriters.

Shannon Shark must be out of town. Mets breaking news time.

Johan is done for the year. MRI on back can back as inflamation in his lower back. He was prescribed rest and Meds but no surgery.

Sandy doesn’t think about the way the no hitter was handled because it isn’t a shoulder issue, it was a back and ankle issue.

Kirk Niewenhuis is also done for the year and is not having surgery either in his foot. Just
Prescribed rest.
