Mets waste gem by Pelfrey

Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals

The New York Mets wasted an absolutely brilliant performance last night by Mike Pelfrey. The young righty pitched six innings of no hit ball and allowed only one run into the eight inning. He was awesome! sadly,on the 2008  New  York  Mets, often times that still is not enough. I feel bad for Pelfrey.

The Mets dropped  three  out  of   four  at  home  to  the  lowly  Washington  Nationals.  Inexcusable! They could not muster even a single run last night to support Pelfrey. Yes, I understand, Nationals starter Jason Bergmann was brilliant himself, credit  to  him.  But  still,  a  Championship caliber team, as the  Mets consider  themselves, find a way  to  win.

The 2008 New York Mets find a way to lose. Case in point;  bottom  of the  eight, Mets trailing  1-0, Jose  Reyes on first, nobody out. Luis  Castillo  sacrifices, Reyes  gets thrown out attempting   to advance all the way to third base. Now we have two outs and none on. Don't get me wrong, I admire Reyes's hustle and aggressive attitude, I really do. But sometimes you have to use your brain. That was a dumb play!

It was indicative of the way things have gone for the Mets all season, they find ways to lose. That is what .500  teams do.
