Well the defense isn't helping, but Montero sucks. He should never start again.

Montero should be relegated to strictly doing mop up, long relief, the occasional short relief or emergency spot start.

TJ Rivera isn't a very good 3rd baseman...he's killing us at the hot corner.
Jose was much better there.
Why isn't Flores getting more starts there??

Sheeesh.... Collins is just flat out clueless.

Already in a 4-0 hole after 3.

Another flop performance....ho hum.

Wacha tosses 3-hitter, Cardinals top error-prone Mets 5-0


Maybe Jake can stop the bleeding on wednesday....
Mets bats better wake the eff up.

Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom (10-3, 3.48) starts Wednesday night against Cardinals RHP Mike Leake (7-6, 3.14 ERA). DeGrom has won a career-best six straight starts with a 1.53 ERA dating to June 12. He's struck out 47 and walked nine during that stretch.

Could he be on the block, or does he just need to rest??

Why do these guys look like ass for so many games, and then look terrific for one or two?

It's duplicity.
They do it to test your loyalty and to trick you into believing in them more.

Or maybe it's just pitching match ups..+/or lousy managing.




End of the 5th...Mets lead 7-0.

Let's see what Seth Lugo's got today, he didn't do too bad his last time out

So far so good. He's cruised thru 5.
Only allowed 1 hit...has 5 K's, and 0 BB..on 66 pitches.

Met's lead it 1-0...on a Duda solo shot in the 2nd.

LGM!

Oh, they're gonna win today...because I placed a bet on St. Louis

Dammit...he gave up a 4 pitch 1 out walk, and then an rbi double.

1-1 tie, middle of the 6th.

Still a solid outing to this point.

And Conforto seems to be hitting again

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Still a solid outing to this point.

True..but the margin for error is so slim with this team.....

Cards would've taken the lead if not for a nice dig and scoop by Duda at 1B with a runner at 3rd after a 2 out ground ball to Rivera was thrown over to him in the dirt.

Shit! was almost through 7

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

After b2b 2 out singles...Lugo is now coming out.

Goeddel comes in and on 2 pitches gets Gyorko on a foul pop up to end it.
Still tied 1-1



Stretch time in Queens.

Shit! was almost through 7

He was tiring, losing some velocity and missing locations.
Quality start nonetheless.
