Mets lose 4-2, swept by Braves

Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals as well as our NY Giants coverage!

The New York Mets just completed a four game sweep of the Atlanta Braves...only problem is the Braves won all four.

Same story as we have seen too often this season; Johan Santana pitched pretty good but not good enough, the Mets hit the ball hard often, but usually right at somebody.

I could go on and bore you with the details, but why bother? The Mets are now 22-23, below .500 and reeling. Manager Willie Randolph is about to see some real negativity thrown his way, based on nothing more then the Mets poor showing, but probably added to by his comments this week. 

I would love to believe that it is still early and  the  Mets could get it turned around, but why would anyone believe that? Based  on what we have seen, it is hard to  keep the faith.  Especially  for  me as I have felt  all  season  that the  New  York  Mets were  basically a  .500  team.  Looks like I may have given  them  too much credit. 

As I have said often, I am still a Mets fan, regardless of results. As down as I might be on the Mets right now, as a fan, I still choose to hold out hope that they can get it on track.   

For better or worse, I will keep watching the Mets and hoping.
