(by Brett Kahn)At 40-41, the Mets have been one of the most inconsistent teams in baseball this season. There are a lot of reasons for this. I would like to analyze the recent subway series against the Yankees to give people an idea of how inconsistent the Mets really are...
GOOD
Carlos Delgado racked up 3 HR's and 10 RBI's in the four-game series.
BAD
He only managed four hits in 15 AB's. (.267) Those four hits also only came in two games.
GOOD
Jose Reyes went 6-for-16 in the series. (.375)
BAD
He didn't drive in any runs, only stole one base, and was picked off.
GOOD
Oliver Perez threw a gem in the finale going seven innings while only giving up one run and striking out eight.
BAD
His ERA dropped to 4.98 on the season.
GOOD
The Mets scored 20 runs in the four-game series. (five runs/game)
BAD
15 of those runs came in the first game and are now batting .211 with two outs and RISP.
Consistency is the key to success. The Mets have yet to figure that out.
