POS

What a waste. How the F does the team which DOMINATED the NL all season lose to the team with the WORST RECORD in the playoffs? A team we were 4-2 against this season, that we were FOURTEEN games better than? A team that you SHUT DOWN the only offensive threat - Pujols - to .248 and 1 RBI??? Your offense and bullpen blow and are overrated, that's how.

Ironically starting pitching was good enough, great in spots, to win this series. It was our supposedly HUGE offense and bullpen that were going to carry us. Well, they carried us all right, straight into the shitter.

Wagner, as I've maintained all season, is overrated and sucks. I don't trust him with the game on the line, EVER.

Heilman and Mota can't pitch more than one inning each.

How do the Mets not score in the bottom of the inning after Chavez makes the greatest catch ever? How do you not draw on that momentum and score? Green, Valentin, and Chavez are too much of an easy out in a pressure situation. But really that's not their job - where's the 1-5 in the lineup? For Reyes to not reach base ONCE last night is a massive regression - he showed no patience at the plate. Lo Duca has to find a way to get on base even when no one is on ahead of him. I'll save some special words for Beltran below. Wright sucked all series. ALL series, every game he sucked.

This team cannot hit a breaking ball to save their lives. Sure, they're as deadly as anyone when being served a steady diet of fastballs, or when a pitcher makes a mistake and leaves it over the fat part of the plate. But the minute they face breaking stuff, they wilt. LEARN HOW TO HIT SINGLES. Not every at bat has to be going for the long ball. Live by the HR, die by the HR. And that's exactly what they did this series.

And for Beltran to end the whole season LOOKING at strike 3. What a dandy.
