You know, people will tell me I'm too negative with my teams. Fine you can say that. But how can you not be when you have to deal with nothing but garbage and teases for so many years? Because today for the first time since the Scott Kazmir trade, I am embarrassed to say I am a Mets fan.
Hoe bad was Game 5 last night? How many line drives did they hit down the foul line that just went foul? How bad was Tom Glavine? Giving up RBI hits to Ronnie Belliard? Ronnie Belliard? Pedro Feliciano has been automatic against left handed batters this year. Chris Duncan, who can't hit a lefty with two fists and a flashlight, and had hit .170 against lefties this year, hits a home run for the 4-2 Cardinal lead, and you knew we were dead. I don't want to hear about the umpires screwed us or anything like that. That's a cop out, that's crap. Just like our team right now, crap. Lo Duca is getting hits. Beltran and Delgado too. Everyone else can go screw themselves. Jeff Weaver served up one fastball right down the middle right after another. And time after time, the Mets choked. David Wright stinks right now. Jose Reyes can't get on base. In 23 at-bats through the first five games of this series, he's batting .260. He has no stolen bases, and has touched third base only four times with just three runs scored. I love him, but that is unacceptable. Shawn Green is washed up, Jose Valentin is washed up, Julio Franco is done, I don't care how meticulous his diet is, he can drink 20 protein shakes a day, he still can't run and he can barely hit now that's he's in New York and out of Atlanta.
And I'll say it again, if we lose this series, the whole season is a failure. Considering how bad the National League was and how high our expectations were, the NL East title means nothing without a pennant. Barry Zito, enjoy your 6 year, 90 million dollar contract you've got coming to you in January featuring Fred Wilpon's signature.
Oh the pain...
