Not as bad as you thought. The Mets last time on the power rankings were at 6 and now they are 8, so only dropping two spots for a not stellar week that included the loss of a starter is pretty good news to me. Better news is that they rank the Mets above the Braves, the Phillies and everyone else in the NL East.
The quote they say for the Mets: “Not the start Mets fans were hoping for. This team, based on last
September, could’ve used a hot April. Instead, it’s got a major problem
in the rotation with Pedro Martinez going down. Jose Reyes didn’t steal
a base in Week 1. Expect the offense to start showing signs of life
soon.”
The Braves were ranked 9 and the Phillies 16.

I think what they said about what was said about the Mets is very true and very fitting. The offense will start as we all know, we are just waiting for it to click. The Mets have never been much of a home team in terms of winning at home, but maybe this year, especially with the possibility of wind being blocked out of left, the Mets can really be a home team.
