Is It Over?...Yes

The failure to provide run support still hangs around with nobody being able to grab it. It's just crazy how the Mets can only score one run against the Washington Nationals and Pittsburgh Pirates. Two teams that haven't mattered since black and white television.

Not being able to make the right moves to succeed plays of a huge part. Trading away right fielder Ryan Church to the Atlanta Braves for right fielder Jeff Francoeur sounded great, even though both players haven't been impressive throughout the season.

Francoeur is known for his ability to produce in the field, but he already has three errors playing with the Mets. It's almost like he's turning into one of these minor league players the Mets have in their line-up.

The Mets are currently 10 games back of the NL East lead, with the Philadelphia Phillies leading the way. They're fourth in the NL East, trailing the Florida Marlins, Atlanta Braves and Phillies. Trailing the Phillies seemed realistic coming into the season, but not the Braves and Marlins. This team is broken into pieces and the parts are hard to put back together.

Is it over?...Yes. The chances of the Mets winning the NL East are the same as horses being able to play soccer. Blame it on the injuries, because the confidence of this team went down. Players made many "stupid" mistakes in the field and the fire was just lost.

I feel your pain, Kenrick. Even at their best, the Phillies often do inexplicable things like lose to the Nationals.

BTW, I did some editing of content on this. I hope you don't mind.

Mets were stacked in the beginning of the year, it's amazing how far they've fallen...it's unfair to ask these young players to pick up the slack...the look on that Met fan says it all...

This Mets team is far from good right now. They can't even beat non-playoff contending teams.

Aren't you busy enough getting knocked out of your own division race?

It was a flawed team to begin with. Sure, when healthy, the lineup sports Reyes, Delgado, Beltran, and Wright, and is terrific. But even when healthy, the starting rotation is Johan Santana and then a bunch of maybes. John Maine is fine when he's healthy, but he's really never healthy. Oliver Perez is ridiculous in just about every way possible. Pelfrey's good, but still very young. Livan Hernandez really shouldn't be anything more than a 6th starter at this point in his career. If the core of the team had stayed healthy, then they'd be pretty similar to the Phillies.

I've spent many a summer pondering baseball seasons. And as Yogui Berra probably said - "It's not over until the magic number says it is..." For real, it's not August... let alone the fact it's not even September yet!!! Let's look at recent history to show that NO LEAD is safe in this division (or most others)... then again, it was always the Mets that choked, wasn't it? Maybe what went around will go around yet?
