With everything that the Mets have endured the past 6 weeks, if we can be within a few games of first, it would be fantastic. There are going to be some games in there where we'll look horrible with horrible pitching and an anemic offense but even going 4-5 will keep up close. Thankfully, the NL east is so mediocre. It's nice to think how drastically different the team can look 10 games from now. The roster will be more balanced when Reyes and Beltran come back with bench guys going back to the bench and guys who need more time in the minors being sent down. If Ollie can even go back to last year's form and Maine is healthy, there is no reason that we can't win the division. Gotta be positive. 9 games left before the ASB.

Mets' pitching gave up 8 runs against a very mediocre offensive team. We can't expect the Mets to score 9 runs every game with major contributions from Tatis.

I am so glad the Mets came back and stuck to Pittsburgh and made them eat their words!!!!!

Plus you can never have to much pitching....let him get lost in the bullpen as a long reliever or something... It'll give us depth when we eventually need it.

And I am not stretching the truth. The average annual wage in the DR is less then $1500.00, yes, you pay more a month on rent then they will see in a year. That is a huge losing argument right out of the box. dlbags:
