The good news: Frankie Montas is the least of our problems.

The bad news: Frankie Montas is the least of our problems.

Even Dickie "Richard" Lovelady wasn't a major problem in the grander scheme of things. By then the game had already fallen into the toilet and had been flushed. Brázobad and Can'tillo, with a kind assist from Garrote, had already ****** a 3-0 lead to bits in the sixth and there was not real way to recover after that, given that the Mets offense for eight innings consisted of clumsy walks by Strider, who really does have thighs like a horse, and that odd clutch 2-run single by Baty.

That's the same Baty that in the ninth inning, with the tying run in the on-deck circle, took a miserable hack at a 3-1 that he had just seen buy a ticket to ride the subway, and then looked at a 3-2 that was right in the "can't just look at it there" zone for a 3-2 pitch; THEN somehow found a reason to object about the (deserved) strike three call and chirped at the umpire.

Hey, Baty! Shut your pie hole, get some glasses, maybe also get a throwing arm, and how about taking an extended vacation in Syracuse, if we're already at it!?

Take Mauricio (that one RBI double notwithstanding) and Young with you, while you're at it. And Vientos? Can stay where he is, where the pepper grows.

What an absolutely rancid **** show.
