Road trip blues

How much confidence do you have when Castillo's up in a big spot? I have practically none. I was really, really hoping Wolf would walk Castillo in the 7th. He never swings at the 2-0 pitch, which is often the most hittable pitch. Two nights in a row he K'd in a key spot. At least there are only 3 2/3 years left on his contract. Right?

Anyway, another hitless affair, which is ultimately why the Mets lost. They hit a few balls hard and Hairston's catch was key. Still, one run is too little return for 9 innings' worth of at bats.

As Howie said a few dozen times, why wasn't Castro hitting in the 7th rather than Cancel?

That it's up to Oliver Perez to get the Mets off the schneid does not fill me with hope.
