Default soggy, mushy tomatoes

Not sure if this is your situation or not. During the spring I buy my
tomatoes from a vendor at the State Fairgrounds. I got a batch of these
mushy ones and the next week when I went back and complained she said it
was probably because they had cut back on their watering schedule???
Seems like it's something different every year lately. If they weren't
so darn good I'd quit wasting my time growing them.

While we have had a good crop of tomatoes this year, a few of the vines
are producing consistently soggy, tasteless tomatoes. Definitely
something wrong with them, The tomatoes start to turn soft and mushy
just before they ripen, and when they do turn red, are not usable. It
makes no difference if we leave them on the vine or pick them a little
green and let them ripen inside.
Anyone know what this might be and what causes it?
Thanks
