Mets load the bases with 1 out in top of 1st.

Dom Smith strikes out. Conforto goes down. Mets fail to score.

Seriously, if we lose this game, too, I would fire Rojas. This "we're still in 1st place, let's stay calm" stuff is for the birds. This team should be FURIOUS right now. We'll see.

(To be fair, it took a week after Terry's beautiful "…in Las Vegas, there's a roomful of guys who want to be here and I'll find them!" rant for the team to get going in '16, but still. Enough.)

Difo doubles off of All-Star Taijuan Walker. Ryan Reynolds, whom I've always hated, singles him in to give Pittsburgh the lead. Gary Thorne tells us that the current Pirate three-game winning streak is their longest of the year. And the Pirates haven't swept a series all year.

Ben "the Camel" Gamel (ex-Yankee) walks. John Nogowski, the new Paul De Jong, doubles into the LF corner. Dom overthrows Villar on the cutoff (Keith says Villar isn't out deep enough, anyhow), McNeil backs him up but his throw home is too late to get Gamel, Nido drops the ball, and Walker's throw to 3B is too late to get Nogowski. Oh, and apparently Nogowski never touched 2B, but Pete Alonso (who was covering there) was watching the relay follies and missed that part.

Walker walks Gregory Polanco. Polanco steals second. Walker walks Michael Perez. Kevin Newman hits a swinging bunt up the 3B line. Walker rushes to scoop the ball up and get the force at home, but he muffs it and knocks it over to the Mets' dugout. He then channels the spirit of David Cone, not by masturbating in the bullpen, but by screaming at the ump when they call the ball "fair". (It was, it had been foul but it rolled onto the line just before Walker smacked it.)

All three runs score. 6-0 Buccos. Rojas argues and is thrown out. And is immediately fired, at least I hope. (I'm on delay, have to catch up.) JT Brubaker, the opposing pitcher, draws the fourth walk of the inning, and that's it for Walker.

Reminder: the Mets currently have a THREE-man starting rotation (Stroman, Walker, Megill, God Knows, and Your Name Here). Nice to get such good work from our All-Star.

Drew Smith easily gets two outs. So, from the bottom of the 8th last night onwards, the Mets have been outscored 15-1. In less than 3 innings (remember, the Pirates didn't use any outs in the 9th last night) by the worst offense in MLB.

Sigh.
