Consistency Is The Hallmark Of Greatness New York Mets 101

Well if you are a professional athlete consistency is truly the hallmark of greatness. If you are a baseball fan you know that a player can fail almost 70% of the time and still make it to the hall of fame. Over the course of the last 3 weeks we Met fans have watched as it appeared our team was doomed for the entire season. Couldn’t hit or pitch and lost to the some of the worst teams in the league. I’m not questioning the fact that teams go on streaks and win 10 in a row and then lose 12 out of 16. What I want to know is why. Are they tired, is it a loss of concentration, or is it just the odds. With our Mets it seems like the entire club goes into a slump all at once. Tommy Lasorda once said that out of 162 games you win 50 and you lose 50, what you do with the other fifty determines your fate for the season. My thought is a loss is a loss and you can’t win the pennant in April but you can certainly loss it. My hope is that being swept by Detroit doesn’t come back to haunt us in September.
