Mets Song by Song: Bang Bang by Dispatch

This is the first in a unknown number of articles. In it, I will take one album and try to use all of the song titles to explain the Mets current predicament. The songs will be bolded and italicized.

First up, one of my favorite albums of all time, Bang Bang by Dispatch...


Here We Go. The Mets have been struggling as of late, and will turn to Mike "Bats in the Belfry" Pelfrey to try and pull them out of this four game losing streak. The General idea is to have Pelfrey go out and pitch a dominating game in an effort to save the bullpen.

Recently, the bullpen has been giving up hits, Bang Bang, and have blown a bunch of games as of late. It seems like it is their Mission to all falter at once, as every pitcher seems to be struggling out of the pen.

The Drive of the Mets, the one we saw during the ten game winning streak, seems all but gone. My Two Coins on the situation is that everyone seems to have hit a funk, practically team wide, at the same time. David Wright looks like he's getting pitches right down the Railway and he just can't connect.

It's been a Whirlwind of a season for the Mets so far, and I don't expect that to change any time soon. Out Loud, I am always supporting the team, but inside I can't help but think that they've been hit with too many roadblocks and this season might be in jeopardy.

But for baseball, that's just The Way It Goes.

So what did you think? Is this something you'd like to see more of? Let's see if you could write your own using these songs! Hit the comments!
