Marlins 5 Mets 1

Absolutely horrible game. The Mets cannot afford to keep losing when Pedro pitches. They have lost his last four starts. In those game has has allowed 9 runs in 28 innings, a 2.89 ERA. The offense bailed him out in the first two, the bullpen (Wagner) deserted him last time against the Yankees and this time he got no help at all.

Once again the SUCKME factor reared its ugly head. SUCKME (Some Unknown Character Kills the Mets Everytime) is an internet theory that's been gaining steam. The Mets have now faced four rookie pitchers this season (Cain, O'Connor, Maholm & Johnson). Those pitchers are 3-1 with a 1.33 ERA in those four games. And Maholm gave up 1 run in 6 innings but the Mets won that game because Glavine pitched a shutout. And this doesn't even include Kyle Davies who beat the Mets twice.

Duaner Sanchez imploded again. He is still my favorite Met but falling fast. He made errors in that horrible inning, although he was only charged with one.

Pedro's breaking pitches were awesome tonight. His curve had so much movement on it. But he always gives up a home run it seems, and even though he had only thrown about 80 pitches I think he automatically tires in the 7th inning. I think he's been pitching 7 and only 7 for so long that his body can't give him anymore than that.

The rest of the team stunk on toast today. Kaz Matsui needs to be put down. Not sent down, put down. Anderson Hernandez wasn't hitting much worse than this, and he would have made that play at first on that bunt.

They've gotta stop bringing Ralph Kiner into the booth for these games.

Mets must beat Dontrelle tomorrow. And then hopefully he'll say "if you can't beat em join em" and ask to be traded to the Mets.
