[Centerfield]

The Mets offense has been sleeping 3 of their 5 games. Not great last night either.

Can A.J. Minter be ready soon, please?

Why, can he hit? 

[The Hot Corner]

In all seriousness.  The good news is that Senga pitched pretty well, which is encouraging. 

The bad news is that the offense was pretty bad.  I like that this team does not seem to srike out as much as previous Mets teams*, but a lot of weak contact as a team.  

 

*=I realize it is a small sample (5 games), but this line up tends to take pitches and make contact more regularly than last years team.

I went to bed when Lovelady shit the bed.

[metirish]

Well, he's all you'd ever want

He's the kind they'd like to flaunt and take from the bullpen 

Well, he always knows his place ,He's  got style, he's  got grace, he's a winner

He's a lady

Whoa, whoa, whoa he's Dickie lovelady

Talkin' about that little lovelady

And the lovelady is mine

[Lefty Specialist]

Seriously, though, nobody in the bullpen can pitch on back-to-back days?  That's not sustainable.  They would have lost last night anyway because, you know, no hitting, but you have to be able to put in somebody better than Lovelady in a spot where you're only down two runs.

This team lacks a proven RBI producer. 
oh, wait …

An oddly low strikeout affair for a contemporary Mets team getting shut out, having only whiffed three times.
