One week from today.

NON-2008 METS POST IN HONOR OF THE 2008 METS SUCKING

(Or something like that.)

Basically, this year's squad -- which has dropped from from 7 2/5 good players to 6 1/5 due to Church's road-games-only concussion & Wagner's recent blown save -- isn't very good. That's about it. Not much offensive depth, not much power, not much starting pitching, not too many good bullpen arms. Basically a very average team.

So in honor of this despicable development, yet in combination with my geeky, summertime need to focus on baseball during June . . . I offer you the unofficially-titled & utterly unsolicited Bittersweet Met Trivia Question of the Current Losing Streak of the Day™.

As many of you probably know, the two rarest significant* one game baseball accomplishments are the perfect game & the four homer game. 17 of the former; 15 of the latter. That's it.

That's right, more perfect games than 4 homer games. And that doesn't even include Pedro's "imperfect perfecto" when he retired the first 27 fellas to dig in before giving up a double to Bip Roberts in the 10th. Anyhow. . .

. . . of the 15 guys who went yard 4 times in one game, an incredible 5 of them played for the Mets. But of course, none of them accomplished this tremendous feat while wearing the royal blue & orange.

The challenge to you (without looking at Baseball-Reference.com or whatever else) is to NAME THEM.

* Unassisted triple plays, three balks in one inning, 4 foul tips into the catcher's cup, etc. aren't significant. They're freaky.
