Johan Santana and Pray for Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain

Our best chance of making the postseason at this point is Johan Santana. And rain. If all of our games are cancelled because of rain except when it is Johan Santana’s turn to pitch we might still have a chance.

7 shut out innings and a few runs got the win for us today. Johan has 10 w ins though he probably should have 15 if our offense wasn’t so pathetic most times he pitches.

Jeff Francouer first at bat as a NY Met resulted in some RBIs, a promising sign. Count me in as a Francouer fan.

No Surprise, Mets Don’t Score a Single Run

This is getting pathetic.

When the lowly Cincinnati Reds shut you out, well lets just say the Fat Lady is Singing.

We shipped Ryan Church to our hated rival the Atlanta Braves in exchange for Jeff Francouer. Outfielder for Outfielder. Doesn’t matter, they both are marginal players at this point and Francouer certainly isn’t Albert Pujols. Don’t even know if Albert Pujols could solve our ills, but at least he could hit a home run every now and then and keep us from getting shut out everyday.

This season is looking like it is all over. Feels like it. Too bad it is not even the All Star break yet.

Don’t Strike Out Looking

Swing. Thank You Daniel Murphy for at least swinging at the ball. Gary, You have some explaining to do.

Struck Out Looking

Oliver, allowing 8 runs in just over 4 innings is gonna be your worst outing of the season. We won the opening series against a Griffey-less Cincinnati Reds team on the road so put this game behind you and focus your days off on getting your $36 million ass in shape.
