Three Questions for Mets Fans…

There's no place like home, or so they say. Regardless, it has to be better than San Diego. Doesn't it? Shea Stadium has to be a welcome sight for the Mets after getting swept in San Diego. Whether it be Padres pitching (minus Jake Peavy and Chris Young) stifling the Mets offense, the umps squeezing Pedro Martinez (that's why he gave up 10 hits and 4 runs), or Billy Wagner having a meltdown in the 8th (at least he still has his alpacas), absolutely nothing went right in San Diego. Well after an off day, the Mets find themselves in a pretty tough spot, 30-32, 7.5 games behind the Phillies. Their .484 winning percentage is tied with the Pirates. You never want to be in the same category as the Pirates. It doesn't look like it's going to get much easier with the Diamondbacks in town for three games. Sure, the Diamondbacks have cooled from their red-hot start, but it's not the team you can beat up on to re-build your confidence. So as I sit in my apartment, on a balmy Philadelphia morning, I have three questions for Mets fans to ponder. 1 - Who's to fault for the Mets' tailspin? 2 - Is it too late to right the ship? 3 - Is it too early to consider being "sellers" at the trading deadline? Look them over and give me your thoughts. Over the next three days, I'll break down each question, and we'll look at the future of the New York Mets, and what is the best direction for them to go.
