After the Cubs destroyed the Mets at Shea last weekend,
it seemed that those Cubbies with that great starting eight
were the best team in the East. But then the Mets go to St. Louis
and get swept by the mediocre Cardinals.
So, after making such household names as Dave LaPoint and Kurt Kepshire
look like Cy Young candidates, maybe that Cub series can be written off
to the effects of an inevitable slump, eh?
All of a sudden, the middle of the Mets order has stopped hitting,
and the vaunted bullpen has collapsed. And they are losing in 
classic Mets-style: blowing leads late in the game, failing to come back,
getting beaten by lazy ground balls, rallies crushed by incredible plays.

Is this the start of another New Breed?
