The Unassisted Triple Play

How much worse can the Mets season get? Not at all now, since the Phillies turned a game ending unassisted triple play yesterday to take the series lead and push the Mets further into the dumps of the NL East. This season has had its embarrassing moments, like Luis Castillo dropping the pop up from A-Roid's bat, or when Fernando Martinez got his cleats stuck in the grass and fell down missing a routine fly ball or just the overall play of the back ups on a daily basis. But having 2 men on in the bottom of the 9Th inning, with no outs and the go ahead run at the plate is the situation all teams would want to have, giving themselves the best chance to comeback. Although it is not a negative reflection on the Mets, really, it still is just another example of how the team has made mental and physical errors. If Jerry Manuel had not sent the runners with Francoeur up to bat, his hit would have gotten through and the inning would have continued on with either bases loaded or a run in. Just more mistakes from the managers and front office keeping the Mets from achieving anything. Oliver Perez is another example from yesterday, of how the Mets have not made the right decisions throughout this season. Instead of having a quality pitcher out there yesterday, the Mets had to turn to Perez, their biggest bust of a signing since Mo Vaughn, who again was shelled and ineffective. Even the mighty Pedro looked good at Citi Field, going 6 innings and picking up the win. This season has been a big let down for fans and all the players and what really needs to happen is for it all to just end.
