Johan! and some offense!

The Mets had their game on yesterday for sure. Everything was clicking! Even the weather cooperated. It was pouring all around NY except over Shea Stadium. The weather gods held off the rain and let the Mets pour it on the Cardinals! Unfortunately, I was under the weather and missed one of the games of the year. Instead of sitting with 50,000 screaming lunatics, I sat quietly (well not so quiet, coughing my lungs out) watching at home.
It was a good weekend overall, winning 2 of 3 from a contender. It could have been a sweep, but it was a tough loss on Saturday nite in 14 innings. Thats what made Sunday's win even better. They came out ready for action instead of sitting back using the lateness of the previous night's game as an excuse. This team really seems to have turned things around. Everyone is putting their "A" game one. Carlos Beltran still is not hitting although I was impressed by the catch yesterday, taking a sure Home Run away from St Louis.
They are headed to Miami this week for a tough series with the Marlins. Even though they seem to win in Miami often and have a great fan base show up for games there, I still worry. You can never take the Marlins for granted, or any team. Look at what the Nationals did to the Mets last season!
So guys, keep it going, this could be a big week to get some breathing room from at least one of the contenders!
Lets Go Mets!
