NY Daily News: Mets are officially in last place in National League after losing to lowly Astros

Yup, let’s hand this job over to the robots.

Blah blah blah blah rain blah blah blah Niese blah blah Astros blah blah Mets got spanked. Blah blah, 6-1. We really don’t know what else to tell you about this one…

Could there be a less stimulating April ballgame than the one between these sorry opponents? The only appropriate word is blah…

“I really didn’t have a very good feel of anything,” [Jonathon] Niese said. “The grip on the ball was kind of rough. I couldn’t make an adjustment a lot of the times. My body just didn’t feel good.”

He later clarified that he was not injured or experiencing any pain - just feeling blah.

Forget the particulars of this lousy night. Wait, no. We have to tell you about the ball that Scott Hairston dropped in the seventh. The poor guy had already struck out twice when Carlos Lee lofted a fly to deep left with a runner on first. Hairston went back, back, and then bumped into the wall as the ball popped out of his glove. Yeesh…

They did not simply lose Tuesday night; they were dead. Which leads one to wonder who they can beat, if they can’t beat the worst.

Blah.
