For those of us who hadn't been completely sucked in by these new Mets (I was one of them), Friday night may have been the final straw.
I figured last week - starting with the Flores HR on Friday night and continuing with the sweep of the Nats and Fish - was the old Lightning-in-a-bottle effect. The Mets had gotten Cespedes, Flores hit the HR and well, the Nats and Fish were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. A day off on Thursday would calm things down a bit and - as I worried about in Friday's blog - the Mets would walk into a trap/let down series in awful Tropicana Field.
