I'd like to say you're overreacting too soon here, but I see no indication to the contrary. The Mets should win more than half of Santana's starts because he's that good, but he only pitches every 5th game AND this team never scores him any runs. I'm tired of hearing it's early, it's early. It's ***NOT*** early the way this team is playing. I've never felt eliminated by April 15th, but I do already. 2-3 became 2-5 awfully quick and no sign of a turnaround. Worse still, like most of last year, apart from the first two games, they're playing ***BORING BASEBALL***, a fatal sin.
And I really have to wonder, looking back a few years now, what was all the hoopla that Minaya had worked wonders with the Expos and whatever else he did before that? He was amazing somewhere else but got here and can't do squat? Then again, why should our GMs be any different from geniuses like Jeff Torborg or all-stars like Alomar, Vaughn, Bonilla, Coleman, Saberhagen, Viola, Baerga, Benitez, Wagner, Putz, need I go on?

Thank heavens for Mike Pelfrey and Jeff Francoeur. Pelfrey has two of the Mets three wins. And Jeff is hitting .438. Plus Francoeur has a great arm in right field. They're the two guys on the Mets that I feel best about right now.
The Mets are not in a good place right now at 3-6 but I'm hoping it's just a rough start and that John Maine will settle down and the bats will get more consistent. Unfortunately much of what I've seen over the past week and a half has looked a lot like the bad Mets from the last couple of years. Not hitting with runners in scoring position. Defensive gaffes. Starting pitchers melting down. Meanwhile the Phillies are hot right from the get go.
I'm not going to panic just yet. Things can change a lot in a week or two.
vs.
A sweep written all over it
I'm expecting the Mets the way they are pitching, hitting and fielding to get swept by the Rockies and by the Cardinals in the next series.
I don't give Jerry much longer in charge after this road trip as they could be 2-10 when they leave St.Louis.
John Maine is awful at the moment
They have the worse batting ave in the National League and hitting with RISP is just plain woefull.
overreaction? no

Minaya

well that was inevitable
Fight and claw back to a tie and then not go ahead in the top of an extra inning in Denver? What do you expect???
Seems like there'll be two kinds of games now, the ones we get blown out in or the ones we hang tight in but still lose by 1-2 runs.
A Win In Colorado
