Mets lose to Nationals, 5-3

Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals

The New York Mets were defeated by the Washington Nationals, 5-3 tonight at Shea Stadium. It really wasn't the Mets fault....they won  yesterday, they were just due to lose today.

If the Mets have any chance at doing something meaningful this season, like say, winning the NL East, they  simply MUST break out of this win one, lose one trend they are riding. Further, to win the division, you MUST beat up on the weak teams...like the Nationals. I can deal with splitting against the Phillies, or some of the other better teams in the League.  Quality teams, in any sport, feast  on the weaker teams....you have to. 

The New York Mets debut of Claudio Vargas was spoiled. Vargas did a great job for his first ever MLB start, two runs through six and a  third.  Then along came Aaron Heilman.....four runs later, Vargas's performance was waisted. Is it just me or is it time to realize that Heilman is a liability?? Don't get me wrong, I know the man has done some nice things for the Mets in the past. But this year I am almost resigned to switching the channel over to American Idol when he comes in.....maybe not, I actually hate that show, but you get the idea.
