Well, to help dudeman with the strain of things, I have decided to resume writing my game reviews for the sake of his sanity. Lately I haven't been able to focus on other groups but, I'm finally getting back into the swing of things so without further adu, here is the Mets - Cardnials review ...
Well, let's start off with how annoyed I am with the Mets this season. Things began to go extremly downhill with the firing of Willie Randolph and from there it has been from Jerry Manuel calling fans manure to the losing streaks. And then Johan giving up a run to an AL pitcher for the first time in 37 years ... that just topped everything. Fast forward a bit and here we are to the series against the Cardinals.
The Mets knew they didn't do a lot Monday evening when it mattered most. Monday night was "A Night to Forget" with errors, three errors and a 1-7 loss. As shocking as it is even Jerry Manuel admitted " ... We didn't do too much of anything right ... We didn't do too much defensivly." Well, there is a shocking revalation Jerry!!! Those particular troubles began in the second inning, when Luis Castillo had a ground ball skip over his glove and between his legs, allowing Yadier Molina to score. Later that inning, John Maine threw a pickoff throw into the foul ground of right field, and in the fourth, David Wright made an off-balanced throw high and wide of the first-base bag.
The only thing to celebrate on offense is Rick Ankiel's throwing error allowed Andy Phillips to get the Mets their single run and Jerry's conclusion ... "We didn't do much of anything tonight." The Mets are in last place and if they keep losing, the hole could be hard to overcome. The Mets have a chance to still try and make things right out of what is left of the season, it isn't too late but, if they can't find a rythm the Mets can start looking ahead to a new season.
