0-5.

What a total mess. Terrible clutch hitting (1-for-9 with guys in scoring position last night), crappy pitching (another spectacular Braden Looper outing-- at least he got someone out this time), and a disturbing lack of interest displayed (Carlos Beltran, who just signed a 47-year contract worth about as much as the GNP of Luxembourg, jogged down the baseline while the Braves second baseman kicked around a ball and then threw him out easily).

If Pedro doesn't win today, they could start 0-9 (facing Pettite and Clemens in the upcoming series with the Astros).

I was planning on using the free preview of MLB extra innings to Tivo a game, then burn it to DVD and send it to my brother (currently serving in Iraq). I was waiting to send him a Mets win, but so far, no dice. If they don't win today, I've either got to buy the stupid package ($150? No thanks) or wait for them to come back on TV out here, which happens only when they play the Cubs (WGN), Braves (TBS) or Yankees (ESPN shows one of those). Those assholes better win today...
