That record tells the story and the Mets are officially tanking and Tom Seaver is officially gone. Our best player now is Ron Hodges but he wasn't a great leader as the Mets as you can see finished 30 games under .500. Joe Torre is on the verge of getting the heck out of Queens and going to the Bronx for a remote chance at a World Series. The Mets are still rebuilding and the Mets fans now support the pinstripers instead of the blue and orange. The Yankees are reigning World Series champions and are destroying the American League but keep this Yankees team in mind in the slightly distant future. Let the tanks start rolling.
