a rough stretch

Rough stretch. Winning just 0 of 7 this week pulls the temperature down. Making it worse, the bats at 1.4 R/G this week. That's not getting it done.

Mets News

The New York Mets plummeted to a new low after getting swept by the Dodgers, marking their eighth consecutive loss, as they fell 2-8 last night at UNIQLO Field. The offense continues to flounder, managing a pitiful 12 runs over their last eight games, with just three in the past four. Clay Holmes pitched well but watched his bullpen implode, turning a decent start into another embarrassing blowout. With a dismal record of 7-12 and fifth in the division, the Mets are in desperate need of a spark, or they risk losing all hope early in the season. Compounding the misery, Richard Lovelady was dealt away, highlighting a roster that feels more like a sinking ship than a contender. As they head to Wrigley Field, the pressure is on for this struggling lineup to find their offensive rhythm and halt this freefall.
