It's gonna happen now, isn't it?

You wanted to believe on Saturday. Just like you wanted to believe last Sunday or when they swept the Marlins in Florida the next to last weekend of the season last year. You wanted to believe.

But, it's time to just face facts. The teams is as good as their record indicates. And that's just not that good.

Yesterday the Mets lost to a ball club that struggled to field a team. No Holliday. No Atkins. No Tulowitzki. No Taveras. That's a lot of offense missing, but still they couldn't win. The Mets offense is missing Alou, Church & Anderson. Sure that hurts, but not nearly as much as the Rockies' missing bats. Reyes, Castillo, Wright, Beltran & Delgado were all in the line-up and went 2 for 14 combined against Aaron Cook. Reyes got picked off - again.

On top of that he booted a sure DP ball. I think Jose really wants to see the end of Willie. I'm getting to the point where I'm sick of seeing Jose. He's gotta wake up. This series should have been like a playoff series for this team, but they lost it.

I can't imagine Willie will still be the Mets' manager when the team runs out tonight to take the field against Florida. I won't be upset if he is, however, but something's gotta change and fast. There's still plenty of time if the Mets play decent baseball, but that's the big IF. Can they play decent baseball?
