Well, the 2011 schedule is out and I haven't looked at it in any detail yet except for the most selfish reason, to see if after living in Minnesota 6 years the Mets might actually come here finally.  Nope.  Wasn't there supposed to be some element of rotation to this??  We seem to play two teams here, one team there, then the Yankees a bunch.

Who else is loving our upcoming schedule? We start a three game series at home against Washington today, followed by three against Florida at home, then in June we have four at Pittsburgh, three at Washington, and three in Philly before it starts getting tough. These next sixteen games could be the time for the Mets to blow up and head into the Subway series with some momentum.

How are the Mets doing? It's a good question. One way to gauge how the Mets are doing is to compare their progress to last season. I've created a chart that compares the number of Mets wins this season with their wins at the same point last season. You see that there's a blue line that goes all the way out with the 2008 win figures and a red line with this year's win tally.
