The Mets got their first series sweep since early May this weekend. In doing so they met my expectations in taking five of six games on the road trip.

I'm definitely encouraged by what looks like the resurgence of Carlos Beltran. More great pitching by El Duque. What does he eat for breakfast?

Even though injuries are hurting the team we keep getting surprising output from people like Marlon Anderson and Mike DiFelice. I hope the trend lasts.

We can only celebrate for so long though. We've got some important series' coming up over the next couple of weeks. It's crunch time!
