Well Delgado is a career: .280/.387/.552 hitter with an OPS+ of 140.

Right now, a little more than 1/3 of this way through this season he is at: .227/.299/.412 with an OPS+ of 94 (below average).

It's actually a bit of a drop off. But during May Delgado was: .273/.354/.495. And although his AVG and OBP have dipped again 10 days into June his SLG is up in June to .579 a bit better than his career slugging.

So yeah, he had a TERRIBLE April. But he seems to be picking it up and I'd be really surprised if he finished the season with a BIG drop off from his career averages.

i might be off in my thinking, but this guy comes through every year and puts up the same numbers every year...he's not ancient yet either...dunno, even if there is a decline, he's not going to turn into a joke like he has been so far imo...

I think we (Mets fans everywhere, myself included) are all just being too negative right now. It's understandable given the history of this Mets franchise + how much we were spoiled last year. Last year we didn't have to deal with 10 days of bad baseball from our team. The Mets were a great team playing in a terrible league, even when we were playing bad we would still win because the competition sucked.

Not so much the case the last couple of weeks. A lot of NL teams improved. We have (arguably) the toughest Interleague schedule. We all knew June would be a tough month. Let's hope we can get and stay healthy over the next few weeks and they'll turn it around in no time.

I'm off to Dodger Stadium. I'm gonna try to give the team a speech to kick their asses into gear. What should I say? All I have so far is:

"C'mon guys, let's get it together. Not you, Scott Shoenweiss; you need to stay at home."

Usually I hate when the Mets are on the West Coast since I never am able to stay awake for these late games (yes, I'm lame). But this is probably a blessing right now.
