The 2010 NY Mets look a lot like the 2009 NY Mets - terrible.

Just 7 games into the season, and the NY Mets have found the basement of the NL East. Every ESPN Analyst on the planet predicted that the Mets would suck, but every Met fan on the planet kept that little thought in the back of their mind; "Yea we sucked last year, but everyone was hurt! imagine if they were all healthy!!"

Well yea, I had the same thought, but like every other NY Mets season it would seem, those thoughts were dashed.

Seriously: look at the Mets over the past 10 seasons...

I might be taking some time off as a Mets fan during the early part of this season. In-fact I am borderline irate on the neglect this roster received in the off-season.

And now Omar’s Latino National team is starting to come true to form with Jose, Beltran and Kelvim Escobar going on the dl to start the season. The fact we rely on these over paid, under-performing, injury prone non-clutch performer’s year in and year out is absolutely excruciating.

My fan level is obviously kind of low, seeing how there is not much to be excited about, BUT the pre season optimism has run through me of late to think of the lineup in everybody's prime…jose, louis, DW5, Belt (back on the juice) Francouer, Bay (back on the juice) and some random catcher…its not that bad.

Now obviously we are far removed from these players prime’s except DW5 but still on paper not too bad. And lets just say we get a season out of Maine AND Pelfrey BOTH this year…now your talking!!!!

Carlos BumTran decided that it was time to get surgery. What an idiot! Does the damn guy own a calendar? Instead of going under the knife the week after the NY Mets season ended - about May of 2009 - Carlos Beltran decides to wait for half of the off-season to pass before calling his doctor.

Now we're going to have one of our best players out for a month at the start of the season. GREAT way to kick off a new 2010 NY Mets season.

Carlos Beltran of the New York Mets is probably most famous for his absolute tear of home runs he hit during the 2004 playoffs. He broke Barry Bonds single season post season home run record by clocking 8 long balls. As a side note, I actually take quite a bit of comfort knowing that almost every record Barry has or will set will fall in a few short years. Back on point however, Beltran got hot at the right moment, the Mets trumped the Yanks on their offer, and no one has regretted it since.
