Mets need to wake up or this road trip could be a disaster.

Looking ahead to the weekend series against the Red Sox the Mets get to face Dice K, Josh Beckett and Tim Wakefield . 3 Pitchers that are very different from each other. Yes the Mets will have Johan on Friday but that does not guarantee anything.

That is why the Mets need to do anything to scratch out a win tonight against the Dodgers. This road trip could turn into a 3-7 disaster if the Mets do not wake up! Last night the Mets could not come back even though they put runners on late in the game. A couple of notes.

Ramon Martinez looks over matched. 0 for 9 since being called up and had 3 strikeouts last night and hit into a double play. Having him bat 6th just screams how weak the Mets line up can be.

What happened to all the stolen bases? At the beginning of the series the Mets stole 13 bases in 3 games and have none since.

The dreaded RISP . I can not stand when the boys on SNY bring up that stat. Yes we know the Mets have been awful lately at hitting with runners in scoring position.

Omir Santos shine rubbing off? He really has done nothing the last couple of games at the plate.

Luis Castillo had off last night. See our poll on the right side of the site and you will see what I think of him.
