The Mets have now hit the point of looking like a butt of a joke. Offense is non existent, pitching is getting worse, and now the base running and defense is taking part in the calamity. For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com or leave a voice message at 725-222-8699

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' ( subscribe here ): One of the biggest stories in all of baseball this week was the return of Francisco Lindor to Cleveland for the first time since he was dealt to the Mets. It seemed like a great time to dissect Lindor's existence, both since he joined New York and now as a 30-year-old who is trucking through an enormous 10-year contract extension. Rob Bradford sits...

The Mets lose another series, this time in unacceptable fashion vs the Miami Marlins. Yet, somehow the team has improved to move from 4th in the NL East to 3rd in the NL East. Most importantly, Edwin Diaz is back to his bad ways. How is Evan's mood now? For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com or leave a voice message at 725-222-8699

Edwin Diaz is back to his 2019 and 2021 type of ways. If the Mets look to compete at all, this is going to have to change. For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com or leave a voice message at 725-222-8699

Friday night was another game where the Mets decided to not show up offensively. Christian Scott had a rough outing but was able to limit the damage. On a good note, the team showed up on Sunday!

The Mets split a two game series in Philly, but did it in a way only the Mets know how to do it. In game two of this series, the Mets rally to take the lead. In walks in Edwin Diaz, and the rest is Mets magic! For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com or leave a voice message at 725-222-8699

And just like that, Edwin Diaz has returned to his 2019 self. That's not a good thing. For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com or leave a voice message at 725-222-8699

It's not just the late inning save situations that are hurting the Mets. Not getting big hits in big spots are becoming a bad habit. For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com or leave a voice message at 725-222-8699

There's nothing like going back and reading emails that were sent in during Mets games where they do nothing, rally late, blow saves, and yet still find a way to win in extras. For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com or leave a voice message at 725-222-8699

Things are getting worse and Evan is officially worried. It was a short two game series at home with the Phillies, yet it gave us enough to scare us from what may happen the next few months. For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com or leave a voice message at 725-222-8699

Evan Roberts is officially broken. The man who was so positive just a few days ago is now worried about the position the Mets are in losing the two game series the way they did. Plus, Joey Wendle gets DFA'd. For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com or leave a voice message at 725-222-8699

Again, a short two game series came with a lot of complaints. For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com or leave a voice message at 725-222-8699

There's no way to paint this 2 game series vs the Philadelphia Phillies other than saying it was horrific. Mets on the border of winning Monday night and Edwin Diaz blows it, and then Tuesday was a complete and udder no show.

What easily could have been a sweep, was prevented by last minute heroics from Brandon Nimmo. If only the offense could start sooner in the game and series. Some other highlights, JD Martinez hit his first homerun as a Met, Christian Scott pitched another quality start, Jeff McNeil got an impactful hit, and the return of the Black Jersey on Friday night.

The New York Mets delayed the game for an hour on Friday, but that didn't stop delaying another loss. Everything was going fine until Jose Quintana hit a wall. Strike that, Acuna Jr. hit a ball that may have yet to land, and that was a wrap. For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com or leave a voice message at 725-222-8699

The Mets were oh so close to being no hit Saturday, thankfully JD Martinez picked a great time to hit his first homerun as a New York Met. For comments, questions or topic ideas email TheRicoB@gmail.com or leave a voice message at 725-222-8699
