Mets are sinking fast

The Mets are the Titanic, the Wilpons/Alderson are the iceberg.

A team that was once 20-11 is now 25-21. They have lost 10 of their last 15 and have gotten swept twice on the road by the Cubs and Pirates.

A team with so much promise, looks like they hit their peak too soon. So who do we blame? Sandy Alderson and Fred and Jeff Wilpon are the easiest answers, but Terry Collins may be the scapegoat in this sitaution.

Blame Alderson for his awful free agent signings. The only one that has worked out so far is Bartolo Colon, but that's not the Mets biggest issue. The two veteran hitters that Alderson has signed to "bolster" his lineup have been duds. He has yet acquire that dynamic hitter that the Mets need desperately.

Blame the Wilpons for wasting David Wright's best years, for being too selfish to sell this team, and for not willing to spend the big bucks for a player that could send the Mets to the next level.

Good pitching can only take you so far. The Mets have a AAA lineup out there on the field and the team looks like they hit and field blindfolded. It is up to Sandy Alderson to find a replacement for David Wright. Wright's career is in jeopardy, and you cannot replace your best player with the Danny Muno's and Eric Campbell's of the world. Say what you want about Wright, but this team is only going as far as he goes.

Alderson needs to get creative, go call around to Oakland and Milwaukee, two teams that look ready to have a fire sale soon. If you do not get a capable bat at 3B this team has no chance to keep up with the Nationals, a team that they once had a 6.5 game lead over.

No more of the excuses that we did not expect to be this good or the fans need to be patient. The entire feeling aound the Mets was that this team was going to the playoffs, whether you liked it or not. That does not seem like the attitude anymore. The Mets are holding on for dear life right now, and it is only a matter of time before the rest of the NL East catches up to them. If Sandy Alderson does not throw this sinking team a life perserver, they will return back to being irrelevant and the joke of the organization that they are.
