Mets swept away in St Louis

The Mets lost to the St. Louis Cardinals today by the score of 12-8 getting swept in the three game series. The Mets are now 6-9 on the season. The bullpen has been good but the problem for the Mets is after Johan Santana they don't have any pitching. John Maine hasn't seemed to get past his shoulder problems, Oliver Perez is well Oliver Perez and Mike Pelfrey is already hurt. Livan Hernandez was pitching pretty well until getting shelled today. The Mets also have a problem hitting in the clutch and doing little things. I like Jerry Manuel but it just seems this core of players doesn't get it, they still don't always hustle and they just don't seem to do the little things to win games. This team more then any other needed to get off to a good start after the last two years. The season is young and there is a long way to go but there is reason to be concerned with this team, they can get healthy now on the Washington Nationals but lets see what happens.
