[Centerfield]

I don't get that lineup. Why is Marte in the 2 spot?

[kcmets]

Cub Scouts 1 - Mets sniffle... it took only two pitches.



Weird, the crowd mics are drowning out the booth here.

[Centerfield]

I feel like the Mets have been trailing for three weeks straight.

[Frayed Knot]

Apparently our strategy is to wear the starter out before making weak (or no) contact.

[ashie62]

Were losing

Mets offense. 0 for 6. 3 strikeouts.

You'd think by now they'd figure out there is a TV audio problem.



Thelma, get me Gary on the horn NOW!!!

[Frayed Knot]

Vientos since his return: 2-for-20 w/8 Ks

[Edgy MD]

I do not like yanking Clay Holmes after 90 pitches, but let us see how the pen responds to the two off days.

[Edgy MD]

I do not like the pen immediately giving up the tying run.

[Centerfield]

These fucking walks.



Every single pitcher.

[The Hot Corner]

No relief from the bullpen thus far. Mets are walking far too many hitters.

[Edgy MD]

Garrett is really showing me something so far.



But nothing good.

[Edgy MD]

Bad hook, Carlos. Bad hook.

[The Hot Corner]

Call to the bullpen: Double, single, walk, Grand slam HR to #8 hitter w/ .210 Avg. on the season.

[Edgy MD]

A .210 hitter can be a pretty impressive weapon once you get behind him 3-and-0 with the bases loaded.

[Centerfield]

Fall behind 3-1 then groove one.



This entire bad stretch started by pulling Clay Holmes too early.



How fucking stupid.

[Benjamin Grimm]

For a while there, Reed Garrett was part of the solution, but now he's very much a part of the problem.

[ashie62]

Way to go Mendoza

[Bob Alpacadaca]

We're not even close in these games.



Has Garrett been awful lately, or does it just seem that way?

He should be named Garotte, because that what he does to their chances to win.

Later

[The Hot Corner]

The starting pitching has been markedly worse with the loss of Senga and Megill out. Having to run Blackburn and Tidwell every few games is not going to get it done. The lack of innings from the starting pitchers has resulted in a greatly overworked bullpen, that is suddenly showing the effects of over use.

[Frayed Knot]

So the team that needs to score (at least) six runs in the next two innings is the same one that has scored six in their last 34.
