It is now at the point where you have to laugh. The Mets are officially embarrassing themselves on the ball field. An ugly fourth inning highlighted tonight’s loss. The Mets continue to make errors behind Johan Santana and Johan continues to have horrible fourth innings as the Brewers beat the Mets 6-3.

Going into tonight, twelve of his thirty three earned runs on the year were allowed in the fourth inning of games. Another three  earned runs were given up tonight in the fourth. After Santana walked the opposing pitcher, Mike Burns, on four pitches, Fernando Martinez started the comedy. He did a full faceplant into the grass while trying to catch a routine pop fly that got behind him as his cleets got got caught in the turf.  It actually was really funny and it will be on blooper reels for years to come. The one bright spot was Fernando did get his first major league homer, a solo shot in the 9th.

Not even Johan can save us any more. A five game losing streak now, with a quick turn around and a nasty Yovani Gallardo Wednesday afternoon. Day by day things become more disheartening, as we slowly watch this team crumble and fade slowly to sleep.
