Frustration

I guess the only way to explain this past weekend is frustration. Johan will have tough games so Saturday will happen sometimes. The guy is the best lefty in the game but everyone struggles sometimes. He just didn't look comfortable and seemed to struggle all day. I do not know if it was the extra adrenaline from it being his first start at Shea or what. I do not worry about him through as I know he will get it going. Plus he has pitched his best in the 2nd half during most of his career.

Sunday was the tough one. The Mets finally were able to beat up on Suppan. Too bad it was 2 years too late. More of what happened Sunday in 2006 and the Mets would have gotten to the World Series and possibly win it. Unfortunately Ollie struggles and the Mets cannot take advantage of opportunities. I mean how can you not score on Mota after you have 1st and 3rd with no out? The team just seems to be struggling right now. The only game I would say was perfect was the 13-0 win over the Marlins in game 3. Other than that it is either pitch well but not hit or hit but cannot get the pitching. I have a feeling they will get together soon. There is too much talent no to get a win streak. I just wish it would happen soon since the rest of the division is muddling along as well and this is a chance for the Mets to grab the thing by the next early.

The Nats are up next for a 3 game series so this is a great chance to get on a roll. Big Pelf looks to follow up his 1st start with another solid one.

On the plus side, Duanar "Dirty" Sanchez was able to pitch Friday and Saturday throwing 2 scoreless innings at AAA New Orleans. His arrival back in NY will make the bullpen mch stronger as he sets in as Wags 8th inning set up man. This than allows everyone to drop down a level where they are more suited. So far I have not seen anything about him no being healthy afterwards so it looks like he has passed the last hurdle of pitching back to back games without ill effects. Therefore, hopefully he will back with the Mets soon.
