There’s not too much one can say after this series. The Mets were bad. Extremely bad. Bad in every imaginable way, and a few beyond imagination.

The good: Carlos and Carlos sent a pair of pitches into the stands. Santana also went long, he pitched seven, giving up 3 earned runs. The bullpen is, as always, overworked, and only being needed for one inning will let them enjoy an off day. Feliciano struck out two while pitching the eight inning.

The bad: everything else. Aside from the pair of homeruns and an Endy Chavez double, no one made it into scoring position. While a loss by a small margin looks better than a blowout on paper, when we can’t even sacrifice guys over to third, or even just get them on, then the size of the Braves lead matters not. The team is still looking just as bad in the field as they do at the plate, and Castillo’s nonplay to home was a horrible decision. Even David Wright looked bad, though it is against Met by-laws to point that out. We assure you, those responsible for saying so, will be sacked.

The Mets are now below the .500 mark, got swept in a four game series, so the good news: they really can’t play much worse.
