June 1st.

Now that the Calendar page has turned....will the Mets' fortunes change for the better??

Metsies continue their series with the Cubbies at Citi after losing the opener yesterday to close a dismal month of May.



The Mets Zack Wheeler (2-4, 5.40 ERA) is scheduled to oppose the Cubs' Tyler Chatwood (3-4, 4.10 ERA) on Friday in a battle of right-handers.

Wheeler will be tasked with trying to keep the Mets (27-27) from falling below .500 for the first time this season. New York has lost 26 of its last 42 games to completely erase the margin for error it built during an 11-1 start.

Honestly the flaws of this team that were apparent during the offseason are showing everywhere. It was a poorly assembled roster, the defensive alignments make no sense, you're relying on 30+ and 35+ year olds to hit like they did years ago, you don't have a catcher worthy of the pitching staff.

What they should do is select a handful of guys to build the team around and sell off all of the other assets. The problem is I don't trust Sandy to be the guy to do that. Let's hope some of these guys get going so that they have some value come trade deadline. Blow it up, load up the farm, you could do a rebuild pretty quickly while Syndergaard and deGrom are still dominant.

To be fair though...when they lost d'Arnaud and then Plawecki back in April I knew they would have issues handling the pitching staff and the BP.....then Cespedes & Frazier get hurt and the offense struggles. Flores & Lagares landing on the DL means the bench takes a hit...add to that the inconsistent starting pitching and an overworked stretched out pen you get a recipe for disaster.It's one thing after another. Confidence gets lost, the fundamentals are gone, and the entire team goes into a sustained funk. Also..not to get lost in all of that...Callaway has made more than a few boneheaded decisions along the way that have been costly...plus I'm not really seeing any leadership from anyone on the roster..they're just going through the motions, and as a fan that's frustrating to watch.

Fuck all of you so called Mets fans...for being so silent and invisible on here.

You're part of the problem.

:finger2:

What's to say? Same thing pretty much every year. Two months into every season and our roster looks like this

June 5th.

O's visit for a short 2 gamer....then the Yanks come in this weekend.
Maybe we can kidnap Machado & a reliever from the O's before they leave town.

:D

If the Mets can somehow win 3 of the next 5...that could be a major step into getting back on track...we'll see....but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

btw: after the Yanks series, the Mets hit the road for 10 games.
(Atl, Ariz. & Colo.)

Make or break time, folks.


LGM!
