The Mets squandered a lead last night as our closer--the amazing Braden Looper--managed to not only tie it up in the ninth, but then loaded the bases without a single out in the tenth. His relief--an asian guy I've never seen before last night--actually pitched pretty well but when all was said and done, he gave up the winning run.

I cannot believe this turn of events. Last week we were in the thick of things. This week: hanging from the precipice. Unless the Mets manage the highly unlikely goal of sweeping St. Louis this weekend, it's time to just retire. Worst case scenario, the Mets get swept by St. Louis and end up with an 0-7 record on this road trip. I think that would bring up the hurricane disaster plan, if we had one.

Forget about Base10's baseball depression for a moment. It will only last until the Jets play KC this Sunday at 1:00 PM..
