Volume 11 MVPs:
Starter: Johan only pitched once in this volume due to the double-header against Colorado, but I still think he's the only SP who deserves this.
Reliever: I hear that Billy Wagner threw a scoreless inning for AAA Buffalo.
Hitter: Jeff Francoeur has looked impressive at the plate in a Mets uniform.
Volume 11 "Just Shoot Me in the Face!":
Starter: Mike Pelfrey has been so inconsistent this year - so disappointingly inconsistent. He's still young, and maybe next year will be the year he REALLY puts it together. I mean, Johan Santana didn't become Johan Santana until his late 20s. But nonetheless, it has been very frustrating watching Mike take one step forward and then one or two steps back all season.
Reliever: K-Rod, you picked a bad time to go bad.
Hitter: Remember when for the last two months of last season, Daniel Murphy looked like one of the most talented hitters in the league?
Analysis: Losing 3 out of 4 at home to the lowly D-Backs proved that that 5 game winning streak really was just a fluke. The Mets need a miracle to make the playoffs. Hell, they may need a miracle just to finish ahead of the Nationals. Check this out. This was the Mets opening day lineup:
Reyes, SS
Castillo, 2B
Wright, 3B
Delgado, 1B
Beltran, CF
Church, RF
Murphy, LF
Schneider, C
Santana, P
Here's the team we fielded last night and have been fielding for most of the season now:
Pagan, CF
Castillo, 2B
Wright, 3B
Murphy, 1B
Francoeur, RF
Sullivan, LF
Santos, C
Hernandez, SS
Santana, P
And that's basically all she wrote, folks.
Think about just how inept our front office is, though. We could have made moves in May or early June, but we didn't. We didn't because we thought we were getting Reyes, Beltran, and Delgado back. But now we'll be lucky to get even one of these guys back, given the newly discovered extent of their injuries. Unreal.
The only thing the Mets have going for them is that they still have plenty of games to play against the teams they are chasing. But, they basically have to win all of those games. I continue to believe that anything is possible in the game of baseball, but I'm pretty much looking toward next season now.
Around the NL East:
Oh, who cares...
