Got off work in time to catch the opener of the series finale with Colorado (10 a.m. PST). What I saw didn't thrill me much, what with the Rockies bats exploding with a pent up force to bury the Mets 11-0 midway through the game, a deficit much too large to overcome today despite a couple of late rallies.
Mets starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey had a rough start, giving up six earned runs in just three innings, while his Colorado counterpart, Josh Fogg, left the Mets hitless through four innings and scoreless until the sixth. The Mets had their chances to score more once they broke through, but when the total number of runners left on base are compared, the Rockies trumped the Mets with a total of 21 to 18, doubling the impression that the Mets were trying to dig themselves out of a deep hole the entire afternoon, and I will admit that I turned over to the Chelsea/Liverpool Champions League match rather than finish watching the game.
The big questions are what to do with Pelfrey and his place in the rotation, and the overall lack of big production numbers of Carlos Delgado and David Wright (not that this is entirely their fault, but Delgado is hitting .193, though with 12 RBI's, and Wright is down to .263, has yet to hit a homer, and has just 4 RBI's.)
