What are the Mets to do?

I feel like the Mets have four different games, they get blown out, they blow the other team out, they blow in a close game, or they win a close game, there are literally no different games.

Since I wrote my last baseball blog, they get blown out by the Orioles, they won a close one. They massacred the Blue Jays on 9/11, 18-1, then they lose a close one, 3-2, and today they got blown out by the Jays, 7-3. See a pattern here? Yeah, me too. Heh, heh, “second place to get into the playoffs” isn’t too consoling for the rocky Mets.

In the slaughtering of the Jays a couple of days ago, Michael Conforto (who the Mets are being mysteriously quiet about extending the single most consistent player on the team), Dominic Smith (who just now is becoming the hitter the Mets called him up to be) and Wilson Ramos all had four RBIs. They all had a home run, including Dom Smith’s first career grand slam. Everyone in the starting lineup had a hit, except, ladies and gentlemen, Pete Alonso… He’s batting .226 and has not nearly had as a good a season as last year, maybe Baseball America’s Gary Green’s prophetic words to me about Alonso being a flash in the pan are now coming true…

In the next game, the Mets started out with the lead on a Jake Marisnick double (who I don’t know why the Mets brought in, an offense helper, a defensive helper or just sitting on the bench and being a trash can), then three straight runs, two of them delivered off of Seth Lugo. Then, as always, the Mets try and mount a rally, but that never works. Only last year when they had that stretch where they were hotter than the sun as they mowed down teams.

On the gridiron …

The Jets begin another season today, or should I say another 3-13 season. Ha-ha, no, I predict they’ll go 6-10, Sam Darnold will disappoint, Le’Veon Bell will be very toxic, and their whole offensive line will go down with strains and fractures in bones and ligaments no one’s ever heard of. Today, they started off the season very Jets like, down 21-3 at half time, and then try and come back (sound familiar?) but fail, final score 27-17. Sam Darnold had a very average game, 215 yards and a touchdown and a pick. In the run game, Frank Gore and Le’Veon Bell are supposed to anchor the run game right? Well, the no-name running back Josh Adams, had the only touchdown on the ground today. And speaking of carrying something, poor Jamison Crowder is literally the only receiver on that team that isn’t on a 10-day contract, he had 115 yards and a touchdown (big sleeper in fantasy, might pick him up later). The defense allowed three touchdowns to Josh Allen, and guess what, the Jets defense really locked them down… no picks, oh yeah, they’re really good, no bolstering needed.
