What's going wrong?

The Mets have lost two straight games to St. Louis and suddenly their prospects look far from rosy. The cause of the Mets' problems is one (or more) of the following:

1. I forgot to wear my lucky shirt either of the past two days
2. I wimped out and went to bed the past two nights rather than stay up to watch the games live
3. The Mets are just simply playing badly

Well, I've got the lucky shirt on now, so we'll see how much effect that has tonight. I haven't decided yet whether I'll stay up to watch the game live.

UPDATE 7am Oct 16: The Mets won 12-5 last night. It's now 2 games a piece with three to play. The lucky shirt came through.
