I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Carlos Beltran looked very good today against the Reds. He played very well in both games and most important - he was raking the ball. Its the kind of day that he needed in a big way to get back to the hitter he really is. But this big step forward might not bring him all the way back and I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
The Mets starting pitching has been better than expected so far this year (IMHO anyway). Perez has had issues and Pedro going down again didn't help. But Figueroa has pitched as well as any fill in starter. Pelfrey's 2-3 record is not as bad as it seems. Maine's throwing the ball well. Santana is Santana.
The Bullpen's been suspect to say the least and the offense has been mostly dreadful. I felt great about the offense putting up 12 in the first game, but then they only managed one in the second.
Come the end of the season, the National League East leaderboard could and probably will look very different. I don't think the Fish have enough to hang around. I think the Braves will make a push if the other teams let them. Play the Braves soft and the Phils and Mets are in trouble. In the end it should come down to the Mets and Phillies again. Hopefully, the Mets pull it together with enough time left to beat out the Phils this year.
