Just 15 games into the season, the Mets are already reeling and Jerry Manuel is already vowing to revamp the starting rotation after a 5-2 loss Thursday to the Cardinals completed a three-game sweep in St. Louis. The embarrassing three-game disaster at Busch Stadium extended the Mets’ losing skid to four games and dropped them to a season-high three games under .500 (6-9). As a result, there’s a good chance the Mets’ starting rotation will look a lot different this time next week.

In the notes, Manuel is going with a different lineup tonight against the Nationals with the Mets facing a left-handed starter for the first time all season.
