The Mets MUST reinforce their Pitching Staff:
After watching John Maine and the Mets melt in the summer heat at Shea last night against the lowly Pirates and lose their game 11-1, it became crystal clear to me that the Mets MUST bring in reinforcements to their pitching staff if they have any plans on winning the NL Pennant in 2006. At the moment, despite their records, neither Pedro or Glavine are good enough to carry the entire weight of the Mets on their shoulders. The Mets need to make a move, and make it fast in order to prevent their lead in the NL East from evaporating in the days and weeks after the 2006 All Star break.
The Mets have lost 6 of their past 7 games. While I would expect most managers would be in a mild panic by now, with the Alfred E. Newman "What, Me Worry?" attitude of Mets manager Willie Randolph, yesterday was just another game (a loss) and today is another game (maybe a win?) and the Mets still have a 10 ½ game lead in their division. I guess it is nice to live in such a world where no one worries and things just heal themselves.
