Mets continue to give away games: Diamondbacks 5, Mets 2

Another bad game against a bad team.  Just when the Mets give you a glimmer of hope, they quickly take it away.  Now the best the Mets can do is a split against the D-Backs and that won’t be easy with Danny Haren on the mound tomorrow night.

This game pretty much ended in the fifth.  The Mets were down 3-0 and after three consecutive extra-base hits to start the inning, you were thinking OK maybe they’ll do this.  But of course they can’t score a run from then on out and make Jon Garland look like Roy Halladay.

The Mets are now 7.5 games out of the Wild Card, a deficit that’s looking more insurmountable by the day.  Of course, the Phillies can’t help out the Mets when they finally need it.  They got crushed by the Giants in San Francisco this weekend.  Thank you Phils.

I think if the Mets fall another game back, that might be it.  They just aren’t good enough to make up this much ground with so many other teams in the way.  And also, Billy Wagner is the only regular that looks like he’ll be back anytime soon.  Where is Carlos Delgado?  I thought he was coming back by mid-August the latest.  Why am I hearing nothing?  Just frustrating all around in what has been an extremely frustrating season.
