What a difference a week and a day make in Queens.
Last Monday the Mets were 7-3 and were playing a fun and exciting brand of baseball.
And here we are 8 days later. The Mets went 1-5 since and are at even .500.
The one win they had was a game on Saturday that was so sloppy that they should have been playing Yakety Sacks during the highlight clips.
And what has today wrought?
Three massive middle fingers.
Jason Bay is out with broken ribs.
Well, that was only a matter of time.
One more year, Met fans, then you can decline Bay's option.
Mike Pelfrey? Remember him? He's on the DL too.
And who is coming into town?
Reyes, the home grown Met All Star and only batting champ in franchise history... the guy they did NOT trade for prospects at the trade deadline and then didn't bid against the Marlins for his services.
As of this post, the Mets are 8-8 and the Marlins are 7-8.
Call me crazy, but I have a feeling this will be the last time the Marlins are looking up at the Mets.
I have been screaming for the Mets to rebuild since the end of the 2009 season.
How much older and injured does this team need to get with their best players playing elsewhere before someone listens to me?
The long year begins NOW!
Oh would you look at that, the Marlins are STILL looking up at the Mets. In addition Reyes' didn't do much in the series.
