Dr. Zachary Smith: "Oh, the Pain"!
The Recap: Mets 3, Rockies, 11
Seth Smith homered and drove in three, while Greg Smith turned in seven quality innings on the mound for the Rockies, but we're reminded of Dr. Zachary Smith from the old TV show "Lost in Space" who would wail "Oh, the pain" when faced with unfortunate outcomes. Mets fans moaned "Oh, the Maine" after Colorado's rocking of Mets starter John Maine.
THE GOOD: According to the Nielsen ratings system, Mets fans collectively set a record last night for the most simultaneous channel changes after Brad Hawpe's 2nd inning double scored two quick Colorado runs. It seems 100% of Met fans watching the game switched channels at the exact same time, never to return to the game again, setting the all-time record. "It was a west coast game, I was tired, and I knew the Mets weren't going to come back from that big a deficit", said loyal Mets fan Stefan Gill. "I just wasn't aware that I was part of a historic and collective fan effort, but I will cherish being part of the record forever", he continued.
THE BAD: We've said it once and we'll say it again: John Maine is done... finished... caput... over... put a fork in him. And once again, it's not his fault. He's a good guy, he tries, but he'll never get over his injuries and he'll never throw again with velocity and movement. He just won't. Let's recognize this, part ways, and get someone else in there who won't embarrass himself and the team any longer. Otherwise, it will continue to get ugly.
THE UGLY: Besides the meaningless show of runs (down 8-0 late, the Mets started scoring on Wright's completely meaningless homerun and Jason Bay's completely meaningless RBI single (and by the way, 7 games into the season in the cleanup spot and that was his FIRST rbi of the year), you know it's ugly when your manager comes up with this dozy: "It's a struggle when you get down that many runs that early"
