Ouch.
That's all I can say after last night's Mets/Phillies game.
The Phillies have won TWO games now that they had no business winning. The Mets can't get out of their own way... and the bizarre interferance call that erased the tying run in the 9th was brutal. Tough to say if the call was fair. I'm obviously biased but I did not think Anderson was out of the basepath.
Right now this team is lying down and letting three straight barely average pitchers DOMINATE them. The Phillies starters outside of Cole Hammels (who is on the DL) is a joke. Their bullpen outside of Brett Myers and MAYBE Flash Gordan is a joke.
Yet the Mets haven't really scored any runs in three games.
Today's game now becomes a MUST win. To be seven games up less than a week ago and see that number reduced to two if they lose tonight might be something the team cannot recover from, especially since they have to go into Atlanta where them never seem to play well and where the Braves have completely shuffled their picthing rotation so that Smoltz and Hudson (two pitchers who have pretty much killed the Mets all year) will face them.
It's gut-check time guys. No screwing around. Win this afternoon and two out of three in Atlanta and the Crisis is averted. Lose tonight and lose two out of three in atlanta and things are in full crisis mode.
No more reteric. Just win.
