But for Harvey to perform that was and the Mets not get a win is a joke. I'm gonna lay off the games for a little bit and see if they get they get they act together injuries aside.

Yeah they gave up 1 run last night, but that doesnt make it a glaring weakness. As mentioned they have to walk a tight rope with each outing. Andres Torres struckout the side the other day with the bases loaded by Gee the other day, he isnt going to do that every time (and they still lost). The bullpen just looks bad because giving up any runs means losing the game. The offense is just so abysmal I can barely watch. When they do get men on they promptly hit into double plays or make baserunning blunders to erase themselves. Who thought the Mets were going to win the game once C Torres gave up a run? You guys are right, no one can get down the sac bunt either its embarrassing. What I wouldnt give to have Cruz on the team over Cuddyer right now. Also worth noting that Herrera is outhitting Murph OPSwise.Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966349028036306647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-31085646372020716822015-05-14T10:12:46.546-04:002015-05-14T10:12:46.546-04:00@soto

Everyone is different, but year-in-year-out offensive futility and blown games turns me off. I'll watch something else and peek in, or go out and do something else.<br /><br />Harvey flashed back to his 2013 Dark Knight days where, despitebeing incredibly good, he goes out with an injury in mid August with 9 stinking wins. On the 2013 Yanks, he'd have had 16 wins by then. <br /><br />So - release Kirk immediately. make a statement. And Chris, like you indicate, time to think big trade. Dont wait til this 13-3 team is 33-40 to make a real move.<br /><br />John Mayberry can go too. How on earth can those 2 clowns (he and Kirk) start the season 6 for 63?
