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?
