Dangerous Games

The Mets are in for an interesting summer. At 25-24 and only three games out of first, New York is in a precarious position. Against three NL East teams not named the Braves, the Mets are 13-7, a more than respectable record. However, they are only one game over .500 and have significant holes. The bullpen is weak and getting weaker everytime 41-year old Roberto Hernandez has to throw two days in a row. Also, the rotation is carrying dead weight in Victor Zambrano, who does not have poor numbers, but is flirting with a lot of danger.
