The Mets (30-27) have reached a critical part of their schedule, as their next nine games are: 3 at home versus the Padres, then six on the road versus Baltimore (16-41) and Cleveland (21-35).
They have to go at least 6-3 or ideally 7-2 over this stretch. They current sit only 2.5 games out of 1st place (1/2 game back of 2nd place Philadelphia). I am not concerned with games back in June, but use it as a reference. The Mets need to get to 5 games over .500 first, then start looking at what everyone else in the division is doing.
Hopefully we can get to that 5 games over .500 after these next nine games.
I will be at the game tonight and will be meeting up with a few loyal readers. If you haven't been to Citi Field in a while, come out and show your support.
As always, LET'S GO METS!

ReplyDeletesee you tonight the kid chicken...
BATTLE!
Great perspective on things Anthony. I completely agree. If they could find a way to go 7-2 over these next 9, they'd be sitting at 8 games over .500. Is that asking too much? Maybe, especially since 6 of the games are on the road (even though the teams are bad).
ReplyDeleteIf they can come away with a 6-3 record, they'd be at 6 games over and in good position. Frankly, they would be in a better position than I thought they'd be in at this point.
