Mets Fail to Gain Ground

Written by Mike Mariano | 21 June 2009

The Phillies have now lost 8 of 10 games and stand at 36-31.  This was the losing streak we needed to get back into contention.  However, the Amazin's have failed to capitalize on this recent downfall by losing 2 out of 3 to the Tampa Bay Rays and are a lonely game over .500. Rays Mets Baseball What's the deal?  Now Beltran is hurt with his knee and the Mets can't seem to catch a break with their big hitters.  First Delgado, then Reyes, now Beltran is hurting with an ice cold David Wright at the plate. Wright can ill-afford to have one of those cold streaks, but it looks like we're in one right now.  After his 3 for 5 effort tonight, Wright now has only 4 hits in his last 22 at bats.  With Beltran possible sitting, someone needs to heat up and Wright is the obvious candidate to carry the load.  This however may be too much to overcome and like Jerry said a few days, we need to hold the fort until the big guns get back or a trade is made to upgrade this offense.  Things aren't looking too pretty especially with Phat Albert coming to town with the Cardinals and the Yanks over the weekend.
