I DON'T GET IT

...I really don't. a 5 -1 lead over the Diamondbacks turns into a 9 - 5 loss. The Mets looked in total control over the first 4 innings or so. Yet Willie did it again and pulled Maine after the 5th instead of just letting the guy throw more than 100 pitches. The friggin guy is young and strong. I understand his pitch counts have been kind of high lately, but the guy can survive the occasional 125 pitch game.

Maine was a little wild, but looked solid enough that he should have still pitched the 6th. Vargas didn't look terrible, but wasn't on his game and gave up a big two-out hit to tie the game.

And the Mets, who were hitting the cover off the ball in the first three innings just plain stopped hitting after Owens left the game.

This team is bizarre. I do not know how to classify them. They should be like... eight games over .500. Instead they are three games under and in another tail-spin.

At this point, with all of the under-achieving, the team needs a change.

Something... the manager, the coaches or onoe of the higher profile players needs to be sent packing.

Something needs to shick this team in. It's become late. Time to act before it's TOO late.
