If the entire team had the “IT” that Johan Santana has, then we could be talking about an undefeated season. That is right, an undefeated season. Because Johan brings IT day in and day out.

I wish I could say that about anybody else right now.

Instead, another great pitching performance is wasted because of the “it” that has plagued the Mets all season.

Gross negligence at the plate. 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position. 14 stranded base runners.

The Mets had a chance yesterday and today to keep the Marlins reeling. Instead, the Marlins escape NY feeling great about themselves. Another come from behind victory, this one 4-3, in which the Marlins again took advantage of the Mets supposed strength – our bullpen.

We had better do something, because this had better not be it!?!
