Cubs 5 Mets 9
Well….the curve did not break, the defense did not show up (i.e
Todd Walker) and the Mets made the Chicago Cubs look like the Iowa Cubs. Mr. Hill has a lot of games ahead of him, I still say he WILL BE SPACTACULAR…just not tonight. 7 earned in an inning and a third, not good. Welcome to New York kid…have a nice day.
What is disturbing about this loss is now 4th place behind the
Brewers is VERY embarrassing, I was not predicting greatness, but
this is horrible. Now that I am done complaining….or am I?
This is the Mets…. Bright spots…Scott Williamson looked great. No complaints here. Woody did fine…but he looks like a guy just showing up to complete his shift. Nomar…it was good to see him on the field…what else can I say. I cannot stand the Mets, almost as mush as the Astros, Cardinals and Marlins..tonight is very disturbing.
Message to Dusty…PLEASE GIVE DLEE A DAY OFF. He looks tired and frustrated. I think we are all learning how much he carried this team early on and with only 53 games left THE CUBS NEED DLEE.
Saturday – Greg Maddux(8-8/4.67) vs. Jae Seo(2-1/2.00)
Will Maddog show or will it be Greg? Maddux needs to show how he became a first ballot hall of famer on Saturday. Stop the bleeding. Show the fire that has become your trademark…do not just
‘show up’. Neifi is supposed to start at short, how about Lawton in center?
Another message to Dusty…PLAY MATT MURTON. Magic number still at 39…..
