Great Takahashi + Bad Offense = 2-1 Loss to Yankees

You could not have asked for more from Hisanori Takahashi last night if you're a Mets fan.  He was fantastic last night going 6 innings giving up only 5 hits and a walk, but that wasn't enough as the Mets lost to the Yankees 2-1 (box score/wrap).

I said it before the series, and I'll say it again, the team needs to produce offensively or else this is going to be a disastrous weekend.  Last night the team only managed one hit off of Javier Vasquez, who had been struggling this season so far.  As nice as it was to see the team put up a late fight against Rivera, it was too little too late, and now they are 3 under .500 with two tough games against Hughes and Sabathia left this weekend... 

It's about time the organization decides that losing is unacceptable, and it's getting close to time for the organization to make some moves.  This should have happened in the offseason, could have happened last week, but for some reason they've decided to give Jerry one more shot...and he hasn't delivered.  If I were to take a guess I'd say Monday will be an active day for the Mets...

It's time to make changes, but in the meantime as a fan, you just keep hoping....
