Worst Loss of The Year

The Mets are sliding right down the toilet right now.
A 5-game losing streak including a 4-game sweep to the Phillies, punctuated by three heart breaking losses, each one worse than the previous one.
There is a very good chance the Mets will have a 9-game losing streak by Monday.
The Mets face Tim Hudson (15-6, 3.23 ERA) on Friday, John Smoltz (12-6, 3.06) on Sunday and Aaron Harang (14-3, 3.51) on Monday and the other game Saturday, the Mets are going to pitch Mike Pelfrey (0-7, 5.92).
If they lost the last 5 games when they had a significant starting pitching advantage in 4 of them, how are they going to do when they are at a major disadvantage over the next 4?


The Mets are in major trouble and it now seems like a real possibility that they will not be in first place soon, and may very well miss the playoffs.
