Just when you think things are looking up for the Mets, you’d be wrong.  On Wednesday there was a water main break at Shea Stadium postponing first pitch by just about an hour.  For Oliver Perez and the Mets, it was more like the dam broke and what came pouring out were waves of walks, waves of errors, waves of quitters, and I hope that there were waves of boos.

Waves of quitters you say?  Yes, waves of quitters.  The Mets were never in this game.  You can tell that just by looking at the box score.  Granted, before they even realized what was happening, they were down 7-0.  One had to figure the Mets could maybe put up a bit of a fight, but apparently fight was no where to be found.  The Mets were facing pitcher Tom Gorzelanny who came into the game with and ERA over eight!  That’s right, over eight.  And what did the Mets bats do?  The Mets mustarded just two hits, TWO!  Is there an echo in here?  I tell you what the echo is.  It is that voice that has been inside my head since September as I watched the listless Mets night after night, loss after loss, spiral out of control.  It is the sound of Jimmy Rollins saying, “We’re the team to beat.”  The echo is the sounds of other ball parks that house winners, guys who try and guys who want to win.  Right now, it seems Shea Stadium houses nothing but guys who have inflated salaries and fragile egos- whiners-”Oh the fans boo us.  Oh we have injuries.”  Save it!  What we have seen from some of the Mets this year has been pitiful.  No wonder the Mets fans boo!

Oliver Perez failed to make it out of the second inning today.  He left having pitched 1 2/3 innings, giving up 2 hits, 7 runs (but only two of those were earned) 5 walks, and two strike outs.  Could this guy have been any worse?  I guess the answer is yes, but luckily manager Willie Randolph saved us the misery and pulled him in the second.  He just imploded.  Am I the only one who is sick of watching the Mets pitching staff walk just about every body is sight?  Even Santana who hardly walks anyone walked three on Tuesday night.  Can someone please retire the side in order like for one inning with out giving up three walks?  Oh wait, lets see-Jorge Sosa didn’t walk anyone.  We should give him some credit-only one of the five runs he gave up was earned.  Aaron Heilman performed well today!  The Mets finally found the perfect spot for him-put him in with a twelve run deficit and we’re good to go.  However, at this point I’m not sure we could trust him with a twelve run lead.

So the Mets jet off to face the league leading Arizona Diamond backs who have the best record in baseball and some of the best pitching in baseball.  Yeah-this should be fun.  If you are looking for Wednesday’s recap, uhh-THEY STUNK!  That about sums it up.
