Jobu Is Fired

The Mets finally treated Glavine to an "explosion" of offense, giving him a 2 run lead early. As Glavine often does when he gets a lead, he gives it back up the next 1/2 inning. No change tonight as he got 2 quick outs then got drilled for 4 straight hits tying the game at 2. Met offense held a secret team meeting to tell Glavine to go screw, we finally score you some runs, we're tired of you giving them back up! Mets held fast to the "no offense" stance racking up absolutely 0 more runs. Reyes even went so far as to commit a little league base running gaffe so as not to score any un-necessary runs. They tried so hard not to score for Glavine, that by the time ol' reliable Feliciano came in (and came in off his game for the first time this year) the Mets couldn't get the bats going fast enough to overcome a 4-2 xtra innings loss.

Mets need to find the issue with the bats. If Jobu needs more rum, then fill er' up. If a live chicken needs to be sacrificed, then get someone's ass down to KFC and get a chicken. If bats need hats to keep bats warm, I'll spring for some bat hats. I think we're at the point that they need to tell Jobu, "Fudge you!! I'll do it myself!!

Every team hits slides like this in a long year. Still 14 games over .500 and still in 1st place by 3.5 games. The pitching is gonna falter at times as well, but the bats need to be able to offset that or it could turn into a losing streak.

So boys, sacrifice those virgins, or chickens, or whatever and let's get some hits out of em...
