| At Shea Stadium, the New York (NL) faithful were treated to an intriguing pitcher's duel. John Smiley(1-3) finally bested his New York (NL) counterpart, Cory Lidle(1-3), by the score of 2 to 0.Smiley was helped out by Mike Remlinger who pitched a perfect ninth and recorded his 1st save. Lidle was the losing pitcher. He pitched 7 innings allowing only 4 hits and no walks. "Our pitchers are keeping us in the game, we just CANT SCORE ANY FUCKING GODDAMN RUNS!!!!!!!!. This is ridiculous. No one can fucking get on base and when we do we hit into double plays, let ground balls through our legs...drop easy fly balls in the outfield. Are we playing backyard ball with wiffle bats???? What the fuck is goin' on??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Graham smashed the door to the clubhouse and launched an all out tirade. The media was not privy to what happened in the clubhouse, just alot of screaming. "I heard something smash against the walls. Alot of cussing out players" Jean Beaumont, of the New York Daily News reports. "Somethings gotta fucking change" Graham said leaving the stadium- some fans threw water bottles and plastic beer bottles at Graham's beat up chevy nova as he pulled out of the stadium. The Mets season started with a whirlwind- going 13-3, pitching a no-hitter, now things are starting to drastically spiral out of control. The bullpen is tired, relievers are getting called up from AAA. The walks are out of control. Not to mention...... the injuries are piling up, first Hundley went down, finally gets back, and the Mets lose one of their best defensive players, and Huskey, known for timely doubles clearing the gaps. "We need to stay afloat" a disgruntled Mets fan said, leaving the stadium. The Mets will now travel to Monteal to take on the Expos. Nowhere to go but up from here. |
