Let's go Mets?

Let's take a closer look at some of the major lowlights the NY Mets have had this 2009 season:

-Daniel Murphy drops a fly ball against the Florida Marlins and the Mets lose, even after Johan Santana threw a gem.

-Carlos Beltran decides to run pass home plate instead of just sliding, he gets tagged out and the Mets lose versus the St. Louis Cardinals.

-Pedro Feliciano gets called for a balk at the mound and there goes another game the Mets lose.

-Gary Sheffield drops a fly ball out in left field, but the Mets still win the game.

-Instead of going for a sweep against the San Francisco Giants the Mets lose after Mike Pelfrey gets called for THREE balks, Mets lose 2-0.

-Against the Los Angeles Dodgers Ryan Church forgets to tag third base and instead of giving the Mets a 3-2 lead he gets called out. Later in the bottom of the 10th inning the Dodgers load the bases with Brian Stokes in the mound. Outfielders Angel Pagan and Carlos Beltran misplay a fly ball and Jeremy Reed (who's an outfielder but has to play first base after a hip injury has sidelined Carlos Delgado for almost two months) makes a throwing error to home plate giving the Dodgers the win. The Mets commit FIVE errors the entire game.

All of these f****** miscues are really pissing me off. How is it the Mets are losing games by basically messing up the fundamentals of baseball. Instead of fixing their constant mistakes they continue to outdo themselves in the worst way possible.

These NY Mets this early in the season remind me of another fictional baseball team that started out the same way they did with constant miscues and blunders...
