Seriously guys?

Just when things got good, this crap? Walk-off balk? Come on. Get real.

I hate how this is going to allow the New York sports media (and actually, the national sports media as well) to perpetrate their "Mets suck and can't do anything right" narrative. One can only fathom what the Post will have as their headline tomorrow- "Balk This Way"?

ESPN Stats and Info on Twitter says this is the first time this has happened since 2008. It's pretty rare.

Either way, we're one under .500 and around 4 games out of the Wild Card. Also, it's June. And we took the series against the Braves anyway.

Next, it's the Unwieldy Place Name Angels and the Oakland A's at home. 

All Good Things

...must come to an end.

The amazing hot streak the Mets had been on just last week now seems like ancient history. The Mets need to recover from three consecutive losses, two of which were just pathetic on their part. Last night they wasted an unusually solid start by Ollie Perez.

This crap can't go on. The team needs to get it together now if they want to hang around with the big boys in the league come October. A great first step would be to say goodbye to mediocrity like Raul Valdes, Frank "Smithtown's Own" Catalanotto, and Gary "Leadoff Hitter?" Matthews Jr. The Mets have perfectly good guys in the minors (Nick Evans, F-Mart, Parnell, Calero, Hessman, Chris "The Animal" Carter, I can go on) to fill these spots. It's ludicrous that we're instead stuck with this lot of aging, below replacement level guys getting obscene amounts of playing time. The buck needs to end here or this team will be sitting at home this fall.
