The Mets took the series from the Washington Nationals today on great pitching by John Maine and a Carlos Beltran home run.

I'm concerned about the Mets offense, which is still weak even though they have won the last two games. But at least we found a way to win and keep pace with the Braves.

A real showcase of the old and the young over the last few games for the Mets.

On the one hand we have the likes of Tom Glavine, Julio Franco and El Duque Hernandez.

On the other hand we have the likes of Mike Pelfrey, Jose Reyes and David Wright.
