Pure aggravation

I can't take it anymore. The Mets may be in first place in the NL East. But you know what? They stink. The Mets are not a good baseball team anymore. This offense is embarrassing. Four hits in nine innings off Wandy Rodriguez. Five losses in six games.

Jose Reyes does not know how to take a pitch. Jose Valentin's knees have robbed him of his hitting power and fielding range. Julio Franco should be confided to a senior's home for the immobile. Shawn Green had a great start but has shown no consistent hitting in eight weeks. Carlos Beltran is hitting .266 and swings at pitches above his head. Carlos Delgado has lost the ability to hit faster than anyone I have ever seen. And the bullpen. What a falloff from last year. Guillermo Mota is the one major leaguer who should actually be allowed to use steroids. Joe Smith has lost his luster. Aaron Heilman gives up a lot of big hits. Aaron Sele makes me wish we had Mel Rojas back. And what a bust Scott Schoeneweis is.

I don't care they're still 3 games up in the division. Omar Minaya has to make a couple of changes to this complacent group. Because right now the Mets are a joke. This season is headed for a miserable finish.
