This is how bad the Mets have been this month, not only did John Maine give up Back-to-Back-to-Back homeruns on three consecutive pitches but Hong-Chih Kuo hit the ball so well that he knew that it was gone the second he hit it. And he's the friggin pitcher. Now the Mets have lost 8 of their last 9, 9 of 11 in the month of June and their last 7 against a lefty starter. Ouch.
And if you ever want to hear some humour watch or listen to any form of Asian entertainment. They always insert a token english phrase in no matter what the genre, whether it be in the chorus of a pop song or the announcer going "Back-to-Back-to-Back" and "This is my Place".

VIDEO: More Memorable Baseball Meltdowns - Lee Elia & Tommy Lasorda
Last week, I posted a rather lengthy dissertation on 20 of the most epic meltdowns in sports history. Well, if that post was the equivalent to 'Cheers', get ready for the spin-off 'Frasier' post soon of epic Bob Knight blowups.
But in the meantime, here's some additional follow up to last week's meltdown post: an audio clip of ex-Dodgers' managerTommy...

At it stands today the Mets are 36-28, with the 3rd best record in the National League with a two game lead over both the Braves and Phillies.
