crap we lost our mojo. well it all worked out when someone else lost their mojo

The MEts are "obsessed" with the Yanks and now, not making the playoffs because they have slumped. Because...ya know....past playoff teams never had a bad two weeks. Ever.

Davidoff is really getting into Wally territory now. I cant for the LIFE of me figure out why so many writers seem to just HATE the Mets.

Oh yeah, he's really fallen off the face of the earth after a monumental April and May. Where do these guys come up with this stuff? lol

I love how the rotation will return to their career avgs, but the lineup won't.

I am sure he along with everyone else had the Yankees buried 2 1/2 weeks ago and had the Mets running away with it.

It is still a long season. He will probably change his story 2 more times between now and then.

We all agree that things look like ugly right now, but I am not ready to call it a season as of today ! I totally feel we will get to the playoffs. How far we get, is another story. Only time will tell.

I get the feeling he wants to be one of the first ones to jump on this because no one (except for maybe us) will remember or care if he's wrong, but if he's right he can say "as one of the first people [this year/last year/2 years ago/etc..] to recognize the Mets were going to miss the playoffs..."

certainly seems like this could be the case, especially when you look at the comments... the one guy said "where were you two weeks ago," and davidoff almost immediately responded with a link and a "HERE I WAS!!!!"

you wonder if he's angling for his own sweet gig at a cnnsi or espn like his predecessor...

For the record, I am not Ken Davidoff.

Berate the Mets = ESPN job

What worries me is the teams the Mets are going to be facing over the next few weeks. There is no margin of error whatsoever.

It is very possible that at this time next week the Mets are no longer in first place in the division. In fact, the only reason the Mets still hold first place is because Atlanta has cr@pped the bed, too. But you can't count on them to suck forever.

Also, it is very possible, and even probable, that the Mets will go into the Yankees series and get embarrassed. When your pitchers can't find the strikezone, the hitters in that lineup will have great days at the plate. The Yankees can be stopped by great pitching; we see it every year in the post-season. But with Met pitchers nibbling and running high pitch counts, disaster looms around every corner. Couple this with a cleanup hitter who can't wait for a pitch, and a number three hitter who wouldn't know a two out hit if one bit him on the @ss, you're in trouble. End of statement.

And as far as the Yankees go, they've taken advantage of being matched up with the cupcakes. They are now just one game under .500. Have you seen the teams they face over the next six weeks? If that team is not ten over five hundred by the All-Star break, I'll be shocked.

russo's saying the same thing, but baseball is a funny game. you never know what's going to happen.

as an aside, I did enjoy M&MD's "if you're a mets fan, you're not worried" segment yesterday getting replaced by "if you're a mets fan, you should worry" today.
