MANUEL AUTOMATIC

The Mets, bleary from jet lag for the third time this year and throat-sore from answering 8,000 questions about Willie Randolph, put it on auto-pilot for a 6-1 defeat at the hands of the Ninety Miles Southeast of Oxnard Angels. Even Johan Santana couldn't help, giving up three quick runs in the first after the Mets had taken a 1-0 lead. LAA got another in the third and added a Jeff Mathis home run in the 6th before Santana was replaced by Aaron Heilman after 95 lackluster pitches. The sixth run scored in the 8th after a throwing error by $6 million man Luis Castillo.

The Jerry Manuel era starts 0-1. The Omar Minaya era continues its downward spiral into a black hole of stupidity. Which Oliver Perez will show up tonight? Will anyone care? And now that the Mets have been in California three times this year, are they eligible for gay marriage? These are the pressing questions before us.
