At this point in the season losses are expected, especially painful losses, and the Mets added yet another one to their ledger with their 10-3 loss to the Orioles.
In a year when the negatives tend to snowball, this game was its own snowball entity. Speeding downhill taking out, trees, bushes, park benches, and Mets fans hopes in its wake. The bullpen with its rotating cast of characters that weren’t on the roster to start the year, and will most likely be gone next year, did the most damage. John Curtiss, Phil Bickford, and Reed Garrett were atrocious and if the Mets hadn’t already been at rock bottom, a James McCann revenge game made sure to find the solid lithosphere for the earth’s layers and shoot it towards the liquid core.
