Mets' Losing Streak Hits 11 After DH Sweep
Flushing, NY-- Another visit by a fellow National League team, another sweep at their hands.
The Mets fell to 0-10 at brand new Shea Stadium after being swept in a doubleheader by the St. Louis Cardinals Sunday.
The losses were the Mets' 10th and 11th straight, dropping them deeper into the NL basement at 2-22.
Hard to believe that the Mets were once 1-0, sharing first place.
The Cards won Game 1, 4-3, thanks to a tie-breaking double by Dick Groat in the seventh inning. Tim Harkness had all three RBI for the Mets.
In Game 2, the Mets lost 6-1, mustering just five hits.
The Mets already possess two 11-game losing streaks, and it's only May 11.
Sunday was Mother's Day, and the Mets are a team, right now, that only a mother could love.
Certainly their manager doesn't.
"We're not competing," Casey Stengel lamented after the nightcap. "We expect to lose. Even I expect us to lose, with this attitude."
The Milwaukee Braves invade Shea Tuesday for a three-game sweep, er, series.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the stories! I'm currently working on a 1984 AL Replay. In this Texas is keeping pace with your Mets. They are 3 - 23. They might be another team you could fall in love with!
