Were The Mets Drunk?

Losing to the Washington Nationals, 12-4, sucks for the New York Mets. It's stupid, and wrong.
Division leaders don't lose to horrible teams. The worse is the Mets lost four straight. The four straight loses, were against under achieving teams.
Without getting swept by the Philadelphia Phillies, things would have been different. But they did get swept, and that's what makes this lost bad.
The Mets are better then this. It's no time for a slump, because the playoffs are around the turner.
The Mets jump out first. Top of the first, Luis Castillo hit a sacrifice fly. Jose Reyes scored. Carlos Beltran homered, and David Wright scored as well. The Mets finish the inning, 3-0.
Top of fourth, Shawn Green homered to deep center. The score was 4-0.
Bottom of the inning, the Nationals came back. Ron Belliard singled, Ryan Zimmerman and Wily Mo Pena scored. Brian Schneider doubled to right, Belliard and Austin Kearns scored. The score was tied 4-4.
Wily Mo Pena singled in the fifth inning, and Nook Logan scored. The Nationals were up 5-4.
Logan hit a bunt single, Felipe Lopez and Schneider scored. Wily Mo Pena reached on fielder choice, Logan and Zimmerman scored. Bottom of the sixth, the Nationals were up 9-4.
In the seventh, the Nationals put it away. Logan singled to right, and Lopez scored. Ryan Church homered to right, and Logan scored. This finish the game 12-4.
The Mets broke down early in the game, and pitching is the problem. This can't continue, because the Mets won't succeed. The pitching needs to improve, that's a fact.
All these young stars on their team, with Reyes, Wright, and others. That asks the questions, "Were The Mets Drunk?"
