Here we go again. After coming off a win against Atlanta on Sunday, the Mets returned to their usual play last night with a 6-1 loss to Houston, bringing the boys to a 5-12 record.

            Without even waiting a while before letting things start to fall apart, the team found themselves losing after just the first inning. That would happen again, in the fourth, and the seventh, and the eighth. Starting pitcher Jon Niese had trouble finding a groove with 113 pitches in six innings, and five walks and three K’s. The relief wasn’t any better, giving up four runs on four hits over the course of five relief pitchers.

            The offense didn’t do much to keep themselves in the game either. After Angel Pagan double in the second, the Mets did not see another hit until Carlos Beltran homered in the seventh to put the team on the board. Newly brought up Met Justin Turner singled following the HR, but it had no effect.

            As if the team already had enough going against it, last night’s umpires didn’t do anything but make the situation worse. In what may have been some of the worst game-calling I have ever seen, the Mets could not catch a break. Any pitches that were close, or even strikes in some cases, were called as balls. A fumbling of the ball by Bobby Parnell was called a balk and resulted in a run for the ‘Stros. Ike Davis clearly picked a base runner off, but he was still called safe anyway, and, worst of all, Jose Reyes was called out even though the ball was obviously dropped by the Astros. It was all a disaster. Manager Terry Collins came out to argue the play involving Reyes, but he appeared to be too calm about the manner, and simply jogged back to the dugout moments later.

            And with all that brought a title that isn’t too surprising for Mets fans- the worst team in the MLB. Yupp, the Mets are now officially in 30^th place. Congratulations, reporters, the Mets are right where you said they would be. Well, at least they’re consistent.
