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!!!!

Lets add insult to injury shall we? After the depleted NY Mets watched every player making over $2MM a season get hurt, Jose Reyes announces that surgery is now an option to repair his torn right hamstring.

The question of course is, why the FLIP didn't he get that taken care of in May, June, July....?

The New York Mets' Jerry Manuel is really giving the a jolt of innovation by spreading this Mets rumor. His latest idea is to move the fastest guy on the team, Jose Reyes, to the three hole in the lineup. Now, Mets Junkie's are all about supporting the development of their young stars, but would moving Jose Reyes to the third spot in the lineup hurt is overall value to the team?
