Can Your Dog Do This?
Play dead!
The Mets sure can. They continued a miserable season Tuesday night falling to the Braves 6-0 in a game where they got only 4 measly hits against Braves rookie Tommy Hanson, a sure bet for the National League Rookie of the Year Award. While the Braves continue to breed young talent year after year, the Mets farm system is dead as evidenced by the string of pitchers they put on display during this game.
Pat Misch starting, followed by Elmer Dessens, Ken Takahashi, and Brian Stokes... Don't the Mets play in New York? Don't they have resources other teams can only dream of? We all know about the injuries that have plagued this team this year due to the Curse of Shea Stadium (stadiums don't like it when they're torn down and rebuilt as a memento to another ballpark), but seriously, this is the best this team can do?!?!
Where's our Tommy Hanson? Where's our Joba Chamberlain? Where's our Tim Lincecum? Once again, we have to bring up a sore point - the Mets scouting staff needs a serious and complete overhaul. It's going to take years to overcome the damage Tony Bastardard did to this organization as director of player development. And remember, it was Omar's "judgement" that hired this guy in the first place.
Roll Over!
The Mets sure can. In yesterday's game, the Mets took a 5-4 lead into the bottom of the ninth, then rolled over and died as Frankie Rod blew another save due to bad pitching, bad defense, and overall lifeless play. Anytime you start Bobby Parnell (who's no Tommy Hanson, that's for sure) and can actually take a lead in that game, you have to win it. But finger crossing, horseshoe hanging, and four-leaf clover clutching all did nothing to entice this team to show any kind of heart. Didn't Bobby Valentine get fired for not motivating players?
Beg
That's something we Met fans are getting used to as well. Please, please, please... fire Minaya. Please, I beg of you please... enough of Jerry Manuel. Please, I implore you, please... sell the team. We've heard that a lot over the past few months, right?
Why is it when the Braves are bad, they still come into New York and put a beating on the Mets - But when the Mets are bad, they visit the Ted in Atlanta and play dead and roll over for their opponents? Even your dog deserves better entertainment than this.
I shudder to think what's in store for this team in tonight's finale. And when the Washington Nationals start saying things like "Well, we have the Mets this weekend" as a comeback to the question "Will this team lose 100 games this year?", you know you're in trouble.
