...so good.
Only other 90+ wins needed and we're there! I thought we were solid, without needing to be any more than that. And given what happened last time we played the fish, I am happy to settle for that. David Wright looks like he's starting this season in exactly the same way as he started last - continuing a hitting streak. Long may the doubles continue!

Someone was nice enough to email me this video of David Wright making an appearance on the new Celebrity Apprentice. One of the perks of being a baseball star in New York I guess.

Well the Mets bats came out to play in the last two games of this series. Not a moment too soon either.

I had the wind sucked out of me after that 13 inning loss on Tuesday night. I thought someone slipped a sleeping pill into the Mets water jug. Thankfully we bounced back in the last two games. Didn't Lastings Milledge go 0 for 6? He did make two nice catches though.

Good Evening all. Lets Get Down to Buisness.

As the first 1/3 of the season comes to a close all teams look at their teams to see what needs to be fixed and the next two months will be when they try to fix it.

The disabled list is getting a little long. Here's the list of players who started the season that are now stuck on the DL:

* Moises Alou
* Jose Valentin
* Duaner Sanchez
* Orlando Hernandez
* Juan Padilla

Ouch!

Jose Reyes has been Named NL Player of the Month. He deserved it too, hitting .356, 26 runs scored, 17 stolen bases, 5 triples, and 18 RBI's from the leadoff spot. He is the most exciting player in baseball now, A-Rod can choke on his home runs as far as i'm concerned.

John Maine was also named the NL Pitcher of the Month with a 4-0 perfect record and a 1.35 ERA.

Much better stuff today. Oliver Perez was particularly impressive, I thought, and hopefully points the way for Mike Pelfrey by showing you can have terrible games and recover it with some disciplined pitching work. Joe Smith looks fabulous, especially compared to Aaron Heilman's recent efforts. More importantly, David Wright is looking smooth again, swinging freely and hitting well.

It's been a tough week so far and a bad start to May. I said before that there will be ups and downs this season.

El Duque is out. Jose Valentin is out. Moises Alou is hanging on by the thread of a muscle in his shoulder.

David Wright is slumping, although maybe the worst of that is behind us. So is Carlos Delgado. The Mets have lost two straight.

I was busy creating a podcast related to the news and my opinions, so I didn't get to hear the game last night, but reports about the game said that Mets fans were booing David Wright for going 0-5.

Now I can understand if
1. Those fans subscribed to a theory floated on this site that David Wright blowing bubbles indicates a lack of caring
OR if

How can I be happy after watching the Mets blow this one to the Braves?

The hitting was there in general but oh that relief pitching. Aaron Heilman made a rookie mistake, getting beat when he grooved one on a 2-0 pitch to Kelly Johnson. Johnson struck out four times last night but hit two homers today.
