It’s doubtful it can get any worse. For the second straight night, the Mets were shut out by the Cubs, 2-0. This time they made us suffer even more, making us sit through 11 innings of futility.
Bartolo Colon was the latest victim, hurling seven shutout innings. At least he was long gone by the time Carlos Torres blew the game in extra innings and did not have to suffer the loss. It was a nice bounce back for Colon, who has pitched poorly of late and saw his ERA balloon to 4.
