The title says it all. The New York Mets have been beaten in six consecutive series and have dropped 14 of their last 18 games. And the team is starting to really feel the heat, according to The Star Ledger: "The frustration is clearly evident on the field, characterized by two more glove-tossing blowups in the Mets dugout. This time the culprit was not Wright -- who angrily tossed his glove after getting showered with sarcastic cheers Tuesday -- but Oliver Perez and reliever Scott Schoeneweis, both upset for failing to escape critical innings unscathed."

New York's next two series will be against Oakland and St. Louis. Surely, they'll be able to win one of those. Right?

The scary part is the Braves are just 1.5 games behind in the division and the Phillies, just 2 games.

The Mets need to play more consistantly. Glavine starts tonight against Oakland and well, the last time he won a game it was over a month ago.

Wow, the Braves must REALLY suck if they haven't caught up with the Mets yet...

And props to the Phillies for climbing out of that hole!

Both the Mets and Braves are on 2-game losing streaks. This weekend the Mets play the Athletics (first time Oakland is at Shea...ever) and hopefully they can find a spark...somewhere...anywhere.
