The New York Mets lost their first 4th series in a row to open this season and look like they’ve picked up where then left off in 2009. The offense cannot get anything going. When I saw David Wright take strike three, again, and throw his helmet I knew they were in for another tough game. John Maine did not help matters with another terrible performance. The starting pitcher gave up 3 earned runs, 6 hits (HR), 4 walks with 4 strikeouts in 5.0 innings for the no decision. I’d like to see the Met starters pitch into the 7th inning on a consistent basis. Maine felt it was progress, but I don’t know about that. You could see the puss on Maine’s face as pitching coach Dan Warthen made trips to the mound. Maine wasn’t even listening. The long ball and walks hurt him. GM Omar Minaya (aka Nomore Goodbya) said before the series he’d like to take 1-of-3 against the Cardinals so I guess he’s happy. Jeff Francoeur went 0-for-3 and a walk but had a nice assist throwing out Ryan Ludwick at the plate. Cardinal Adam Wainwright gave up 3 runs to the Mets in the top of the 2nd inning but finished strong and pitched a complete game for the victory.
Should The Giants Move On From Daniel Jones?
