Another Loss!!!

Heilman Gives up GS to Loretta in Mets 7 to 3 Loss
Pedro Martinez did what he was expected to do last night. He pitched for 5 complete innings throwing a total of 87 pitches. But last night it was the offense who couldn't get it going. Sure Aaron Heilman gave up a grand slam in the bottom of the 8TH inning. But that was not as shameful as the fact that in the top of the 7TH the Mets had the base loaded with no outs and managed to score no runs. Those are the moments that one really remembers when a team fails to make the playoffs. Trust me, I have not given up in the Mets. However, last September is still too fresh in my mind for me to not look at things from a somewhat pessimistic perspective. I know that the Mets did not have Johan last year. But one player does not make a team, particularly if that one player is a starting pitcher who does not play in every single game. The everyday Mets need to step it up and not just assume that an overworked bullpen can do it all for them. The time is now!
