Watching the games last night was similar to watching a baby take their first steps. While we are now 3 weeks into this season, we are still new at this season. So with each crack of the bat We knew that there was something to be said, with each play that was made we knew that the likelyhood of the Mets gaining a sixth win and doing something they had not done since 1971 (Beating the Dodgers two games in a row) was well, possible.
The Mets are currently on a six game win streak (not like the streak above but hey it works), the odds of a streak like this from a team who had already had the door on their season not just slammed but also padlocked shut the season. We were written off as being "the Miserable Mets" we had things said about us that the Orioles (who beat the Yankees last night!) did not have said about them. Why? because we are a team people expect great things from. Is it because of the talent? Partly. But it is also the amount of money that is spent on this team. The logic is how can a team that has funds be not so great? Simple the same way anyone can. If you don't put your heart and soul into a game and play it because its fun then you can't get the prize. Lately, we look like we are having fun!
The Good news is we are on a streak, and that is awesome. The Bad news is, all good things have to come to an end, and we have John Maine pitching today. Ugh. The two pitchers in our line up who are so hot/cold and drive me nuts are John Maine and Oliver Perez. They are both talented and amazing when they need to be but then there are days when they are so wild you think you are watching little league. If we could control our pitching, starting and bull pen. We could be amazing!
David Wright went 3-3 last night, Jason Bay got his first homerun as a Met, and Ike Davis impressed me further. All of these are good things, all of these are part of the reason I woke up to this beautiful site this morning:
TEAM W L % GB
NY Mets 12 9 .571 -
Philadelphia 11 9 .550 0.5
Florida 11 10 .524 1.0
Washington 11 10 .524 1.0
Atlanta 8 12 .400 3.5
How sweet it is! Way to go boys... let's keep it going and LET'S GO METS!
