You and
@Doctor Worm are two of the more reasonable, less reactionary posters in this thread. The chicken littles are nauseating.
Some perspective:
First place Yankees 4-6 over the last 10 games, and lost a huge lead.
First place Cleveland 4-6 over last 10 games.
First place Dodgers (yeah, it's not a problem when you are 19 games ahead) are 5-5 in the last 10 games. Just 6 games ago, they lost 2 in a row to the Mets and one to the Padres (3 looses in a row)--it happens to good teams.
But, but, but, but waaaah, the Mets ALWAYS do this. They lost three in a row to two last place teams. Waaaah. The Nats went on a short hot streak, beating the Cards 6-0 and winning a series against Oakland. Pirates are indeed abysmal, but even crappy teams win once in a while.
No doubt, the Mets bats are in a rut. Hopefully Marte is OK. Pete concerns me more. LFGM.
