Rock Bottom

OK. So a 3 game sweep at the hands of one of your division rivals ISN'T hitting rock bottom. My mistake. And to prove that theory, Tom Glavine went out and sharted himself on the mound today, turning in one of his worst performances EVER. (Women and children may want to leave the room before reading the next line.) 4.1 innings, 11 hits, 9 runs, 9 earned, 2 walks, 2 strikeouts, and 1 homerun that hasn't come down yet. So, hopefully, having your ace pounded like a young catholic boy after Sunday Mass, is hitting rock bottom. I suppose Glavine can't complain anymore about the Mets not scoring any runs for him, once again putting 7 across. I mentioned this about Heilman the other day, about him being a professional, buckling down, knowing they are in a MUST win situation. Did not think that would be a problem for Tommy. Who is more "professional" than Glavine? Maybe no one. So to go out there and lay a humpty sized egg on the mound today, ESPECIALLY after Wright drilled a 3 run homer in the first, is pathetic.

Joe Smith went from having the hiccups, to having the full blown shits. His line was not much better than Glavines today, Willie just showed him some mercy and pulled him after an inning of work. We can't afford to have one of our better relievers get the yips right now.

Mets get back to work with 3 against a very good Dodgers team. Maybe a trip to the west coast with blond babes and big breastessessess will help the team out.
