ST. LOUIS — A year ago it began to all fall apart for the Mets after their shocking 11-1 start.
Following a 9-4 start this season, the Mets have lost four of the last five. Despite a different look and a new front office, they have already entered the danger zone.
Sure, this team is built to avoid another collapse with more depth, but these are the Mets — and anything is possible.
They’ve lost two straight heading into a three-game series against the Cardinals, which begins Friday night at Busch Stadium — never an easy task — the end of a three-city red-flag road trip.
