Da Mets Lose Another
Chicago 9, Mets 5.
2 1/2 behind Phillies in division, 1 ahead of Brewers in wild card.
This is not about a collapse. It's not Jose Reyes going mental & Willie Randolph catatonic, everyone else hoodoo'd except David Wright.
The Mets started a pitcher named Jon Niese (?), he gave up six runs in three innings including a grand slam. Six more Mets pitchers gave up three more runs, not bad actually for the relievers. Mets scored six runs yesterday & the bullpen lost it. The problem isn't in the dugout or the bats or the clubhouse or the zodiac. They can't win with what they ain't got: arms. Yo, Mets, if you get in the division series, you better sweep: Martinez, Santana, Perez, no manana.
