Whatever happened to the Mets anyway? They\'re sucking right now.
Their hitting never got going. They acquire Roberto Alomar, Roger Cedeno, Mo Vaughn, and Jeromy Burnitz to help their struggling offense, they all get here, and everyone has the worst year of their careers. Just figures, huh? Also, the defense has fallen apart. Alomar and Ordonez can\'t even be called reliable anymore.
Well, at least the pitching\'s been there. Pedro Astacio is the one move they made this off season that is actually looking good. Now it looks like they might even unload Alomar for prospects at the deadline.
The Mets, in all honesty, are not in good shape. They have to win, and win soon. They aren\'t the youngest team around, and they only really have a couple years to win with their current team. The other bad thing though is that their farm system is completely depleated. They traded guys away for players like Alomar. Other guys just never worked out. Hell, they even had a promising pitching prospect who was killed in a car accident not that far back. The future just isn\'t looking that bright for the Mets.
