Mets News
Base10 is finally coming to terms with the Mets performance over the weekend, which can be described in one word: dismal. The Mets went 2-1 in their weekend series against Milwaukee. Sunday, in spite of the fact that Pedro Martinez struck out 10 batters and the Mets did manage to tie the game in the top of the ninth, they just couldn't get it done. Chad Bradford gave up a walk-off homer in the ninth.

Worse than that though was leaving in Jose Lima at the end of the fifth on Friday. Sitting on a 3-1 lead and frankly pitching masterfully, Lima ran out of steam, was unable to keep the ball over the plate and loaded the bases. He then gave up a three run double. The Brewers never looked back after that.

Just remember kids, although the Mets appear to have come down to earth, they are still no. 2 (nfortunately we're playing no. 1 tonight) in the National League, are atop the NL East and lead the Braves by 5 and 1/2 games. The bad news: the red hot Phillies are only one game back, so the Mets can't afford to totally tank this week. And all of this happens right before we face that other team up in the Bronx this weekend.
