After a rough start, the Mets were winning, but then not so much. Or as was sung in the Mets musical, ‘The Circle of Mets.’

John Maine had a rough first, getting taken for three runs, then righted himself and gave up just one more over the rest of his time out there (another five). Everyones favorite whipping boy, Aaron Heilman takes the loss. He gave up four hits while recording no outs, threw a wild pitch, and gets credit for four Dodger runs, with some assistance via The Show. But at least Show retired three batters. For those who’s heads have not exploded yet, Chan Ho Park got the win.

When Chan Ho and Tatis face off, isn’t the result supposed to be unpredictable, wild, and mind boggling? It should be like an episode of Lost, but weirder. Not a groundout.

Luis Castillo homered, according to MLB guidelines, Kershaw must now be sent to the minor leagues. Reyes has now reached safely in 30 straight games. The Mets scored five runs, two via the Castillo homerun, all while just getting seven hits. Only two of which were for extra bases (Wright doubled). Seriously, Chan Ho Park. Three and one third inning pitched. Three walks, two hits, one earned run. Either the Mets offense is 100% dead, or Chan’s juicing. Someone check his locker for checks from Lo Duca.
